Budget session: Showdown in Rajya Sabha, ruckus over farm laws
- 3 years ago
As the Parliament convened for the Budget Session on Tuesday, notices of suspension of business were given by opposition leaders, including Sukhendu Shekhar Roy of TMC and Ashok Sidharth of BSP. The Rajya Sabha Chairman, however, refused the demand of the Opposition to hold a discussion on farm laws, following which the opposition leaders walked out of the Rajya Sabha. The Rajya Sabha was then adjourned for the day and will now convene on February 3.
