Lok Sabha in logjam over three farm laws; proceedings adjourned thrice

New Delhi, Feb 4: Lok Sabha proceedings were disrupted for the third consecutive day on Thursday as protests by Opposition members demanding a separate discussion on the three contentious farm laws created uproar, leading to repeated adjournments of the House.

As soon as the House assembled at 4 PM, members of the Opposition started shouting slogans against the government and the three agri laws. Few questions related to the ministry of roads and highways were replied by Union minister Nitin Gadkari.

But as sloganeering continued, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla asked members to return to their seats.
“Question Hour is the right of MPs…This behaviour is not good and I again request you all to return to your seats so that the House proceedings run properly,” he said.
Shouting slogans and showing placards are against parliamentary tradition, he added. But the Opposition members refused to relent forcing Birla to adjourn the House till 5 PM after about 20 minutes of proceedings.

Meanwhile, Bharatiya Kisan Union’s Rakesh Tikait has announced that there will be a three-hour-long ‘chakka jaam’ on Feb 6.
