పార్లమెంట్ ఎందుకలా తయారైంది? || Who will benefit from parliament disruption? ||
The proceedings of both the Houses of Parliament continued to remain paralysed on Thursday as Opposition members protested over a number of issues including the Pegasus snooping controversy and made a fresh pitch to repeal the three controversial farm laws.
The Rajya Sabha witnessed some ugly scenes and tense moments when it met at 2 p.m. after two adjournments as a Trinamool member, Dr Santanu Sen, snatched and tore the statement being read out by Information Technology (IT) Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on the Pegasus spyware episode.
The Minister, who had already made the statement in the Lok Sabha on Monday, tabled his statement in the House after unsuccessfully trying to read it from another copy. Minutes later, the House was adjourned for the day but that didn’t bring an end to the hostilities.
Trinamool members in the Rajya Sabha alleged that Dr Sen was threatened by Union Minister for Petroleum and Housing and Urban Development Hardeep Puri, who summoned the former with a gesture, once live transmission of the proceedings had stopped.
“When I went to Mr. Puri, he started threatening and abusing me. I was gheraoed by the BJP MPs. Mr Puri was about to assault me.Thank God my other colleagues noticed and rescued me in time,” Dr. Sen later told reporters at a press conference.
