The Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned on Monday owing to protests by Opposition members.
Soon after the House assembled, Congress and TDP members gathered in the well and sought to raise the issue of alleged horse-trading in Karnataka, and the demand for the special category state status for Andhra Pradesh.
SP and BSP members wanted to take up the issue of hooch deaths in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
The Registration of Marriage of Non-Resident Indian Bill, 2019, and The Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Third Amendment) Bill, 2019, were introduced before the House was adjourned till 2 p.m.
In the afternoon, Trinamool Congress members trooped into the Well and shouted slogans. Some Congress and TDP members also joined the protest. Deputy Chairman Harivansh said the Chairman had not received any notice pertaining to the issues being raised by the members, so a discussion could not be allowed. As his attempt to bring order failed, he adjourned the proceedings for the day.
