Amid protests and walkouts staged by the Opposition members, the Rajya Sabha on Thursday went ahead with the Zero Hour and Question Hour proceedings during the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament that has otherwise seen business mostly getting interrupted.
The Chairman said that he had admitted a notice from Union Minister Jitendra Singh for moving a motion to consider the Bill.
The Rajya Sabha Chairman has sought amendments and notices on the Bill till noon.
As members began raising issues, the Opposition raised slogans of ‘Amit Shah sadan mai aao’ (‘Amit Shah come to the House’).
At this point, J P Nadda, Leader of the House in the Rajya Sabha, intervened, criticising the Opposition for its negative stance throughout the Monsoon Session.
