New Delhi: Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 12 noon on Friday after opposition members raised uproar over the Pegasus issue and the suspension of TMC member Shantanu Sen.
Soon after Sen was asked to leave the House by the Chairman after a motion was passed against him, TMC members raised strong objections on the suspension and raised uproar.
Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs V Muraleedharan had moved a motion for Sen’s suspension after the Trinamool Congress (TMC) member snatched papers from Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and tore those in the House on Thursday.
Congress and other opposition members also demanded a discussion on the Pegasus spyware issue and created uproar.
Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu adjourned the House till 12 noon. He earlier urged the government and the opposition to sit together and evolve a strategy to help run the House smoothly. (PTI)
