Earlier on Thursday, the Lok Sabha defeated the no-confidence motion brought by Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi after the Opposition walked out of the House during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address. Proceedings of the House ended with the suspension of Leader of Opposition Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury backed by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi.
During the day, both Houses of Parliament witnessed disruptions, leading to brief adjournments. While the Lok Sabha was adjourned due to loud protests by the Opposition till 12 noon, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar adjourned the Rajya Sabha till 2 p.m. following a heated exchange between the Opposition and the ruling party over the rule under which discussion of violence in Manipur should be taken up.
