Not Adani, now Sambhal violence rocks House

AS both Houses of Parliament resumed on Tuesday after a week of disruptions, the issue of the US indictment of the Adani Group took a back seat while the violence in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal dominated the Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha.

The impasse was resolved on Monday after the government and the Opposition reached a consensus on the two-day discussion on the Constitution.

Under pressure from the INDIA bloc allies on its sole focus on the Adani issue, the Congress chose to stage a protest in front of the gates of Parliament House, which was joined by several opposition MPs. While parties AAP, RJD, Shiv Sena (UBT), DMK and Left parties joined the protest demanding an investigation into the Adani matter through a joint parliamentary committee, key partners Samajwadi Party and TMC were missing.
