Both Houses of Parliament resumed their sessions without much disruption, despite beginning the day on a stormy note yet again as leaders of opposition parties demanded a discussion on the Adani issue. This came after the Congress said on Tuesday that most of the Opposition parties, except AAP, decided to take part in proceedings of the day, which included a discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address.
Until Monday, both Houses were been unable to transact any significant business after Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget 2023-24 on February 1 due to the opposition’s continuous protests over the issue. The Opposition had stalled proceedings on the Adani issue seeking a discussion and an inquiry into allegations against the group.
The session, which began on January 31, is likely to continue till April 6 with 27 sittings and a usual recess.
