Parliament Winter Session: Both Houses adjourned for the day amid ruckus by Opposition on Adani issue

The ongoing winter session of Parliament witnessed yet another day of disruption as both Houses were adjourned amidst persistent uproar by Opposition leaders over the Adani issue. Today was the second consecutive day that proceedings have been stalled due to protests and demands for accountability regarding allegations against the Adani Group. Opposition members raised slogans and pressed for a thorough investigation into the allegations, including calls for the arrest of Gautam Adani, as highlighted earlier by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi. Bothe Houses will resume on Thursday at 11 am. 

In a sharp attack on the Adani Group and the government, Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, reiterated his demand for the arrest of industrialist Gautam Adani. Speaking on the allegations against the Adani Group, Gandhi remarked, "You think Adani is going to accept the charges? Obviously, he is going to deny the charges." Gandhi further stressed the need for accountability, stating, "The point is that he has to be arrested, as we have said. Hundreds of people are being arrested on tiny charges, and the gentleman (Gautam Adani) has been indicted in the United States for thousands of crores. He should be in jail, but the Government is protecting him."

After Lok Sabha, proceedings of Rajya Sabha also adjourned till noon amid ruckus by the Opposition leaders. 

Proceedings of Lok Sabha have been adjourned till 12 pm amid ruckus by the Lok Sabha on Adani issue. 

As soon as the Lok Sabha proceedings began, chaos erupted in the House with Opposition parties creating a loud uproar on Adani issue.

Proceedings for the Day 2 have begun in both Houses of Parliament. 

AAP MP Sanjay Singh has submitted a Suspension of Business notice under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha, urging a discussion on the escalating crime rate in the National Capitali. Singh's move comes in response to growing concerns about safety and security in the city, with a rising number of criminal incidents being reported.

Congress MP KC Venugopal has submitted an adjournment motion notice in the Lok Sabha, calling for a discussion on the alleged misconduct of the Adani Group and the demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) investigation into the matter.

Congress MP Randeep Singh Surjewala has submitted a Suspension of Business Notice under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha, demanding a discussion on the indictment of industrialist Gautam Adani. Surjewala's move comes as the Opposition intensifies its calls for accountability over the allegations surrounding the Adani Group. The demand for a debate on the matter is expected to be a significant point of contention during the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament.

Congress MP Manickam Tagore has submitted an adjournment motion notice in the Lok Sabha, urging a discussion on the indictment of Gautam Adani.  "The silence of the Modi government on this matter raises concerns about India's integrity and global standing. PM Modi must answer questions regarding his friendship with Adani. Furthermore, the Andhra Pradesh government is reportedly considering scrapping its solar power deal with SECI, alleging that Adani paid Rs 1,750 crore in bribes to the Jagan Mohan Reddy government. I demand an immediate discussion and a CBI inquiry into these allegations," reads the notice

DMK leader TR Baalu urged Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to include a discussion on President Droupadi Murmu's address in the business agenda of the House during the Winter Session. In a letter to Birla, the DMK parliamentary party leader claimed that it has been noted widely by scholars and the public that some salient features of the Constitution, including the words 'socialistic' and 'secular', were not at all mentioned in the address of the president, "hopefully drafted and approved by the government". On Tuesday, President Murmu addressed a joint sitting of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on the occasion of 'Samvidhan Divas'.

Opposition leaders have demanded a debate on the Constitution in both Houses of Parliament, stressing it was needed in the light of the recent developments in the country. Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said he and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi have written to the Chair in the two Houses requesting that a discussion should be held on the Constitution for two days in both Houses.

Proceedings of the Day 2 of the ongoing winter session will commence today in both Houses at 11 am. There was no sitting of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on November 26 as the country  commemorated the "Constitution Day"
