NEW DELHI: The Pegasus snooping controversy rocked the Lok Sabha proceedings on Tuesday, leading to continued disruptions and repeated adjournments of the House.
In the Rajya Sabha too, members of Opposition parties, who had given as many as 15 notices under Rule 267, raised slogans and rushed into the Well of the House, prompting chairman M Venkaiah Naidu to adjourn the proceedings till noon.
However, normalcy returned on the second day of the Monsoon Session and the Upper House held a discussion on the COVID-19 situation in the country after Naidu met the floor leaders of various parties. This came after the proceedings of a day and a half were washed out due to disruptions.
Soon after the Lok Sabha assembled at 3 pm, the Opposition members again started raising slogans on the Pegasus snooping issue, forcing the chair to adjourn the House for the day.
The Lok Sabha will now meet on Thursday after the Eid holiday.
This was the second day of the Monsoon Session that the House could not transact any legislative business. On Monday, the Opposition had disrupted the proceedings over a variety of issues, including price rise and three farm laws.
Earlier in the day, the House was adjourned twice after the Opposition created a ruckus over snooping and other issues.
Opposition members, including from the Congress and the TMC, started raising slogans and showing placards to attack the government on the snooping issue as soon as the House met for the day at 11 am.
The proceedings lasted for barely five minutes. The same scene was witnessed when the House reassembled at 2 pm.
