Parliament uproar over Robert Vadra's land deals, Congress rejects debate, BJP demands CBI probe

New Delhi, March 12: Both houses of Parliament had to be adjourned for the day today after BJP MPs stalled the proceedings demanding a probe into allegedly dubious land deals in Haryana and Rajasthan by

Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha witnessed two adjournments till 1400 hours and finally for the day as BJP members stormed the Well seeking a probe into the land deal issue.
   
The BJP had earlier given notices in both Houses for suspension of Question Hour to discuss the alleged anomalies in land deal by Vadra in Rajasthan.

The notices came in the backdrop of reports alleging that Vadra had broken the law in buying land in Rajasthan, much above the prescribed ceiling, and that he was set to reap a windfall from the land in arid Bikaner area.
   
Soon after papers were laid in the Lok Sabha during Zero Hour, Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal was asked by Speaker Meira Kumar to reply to the two-day debate on the rail budget.

But as the din continued unabated, Kumar adjourned the House.

When the Lok Sabha met at 1400 hrs, Bansal rose to reply to the discussion on Railway Budget.

But BJP members rushed into the Well shouting slogans.

The Speaker tried to convince the agitated members to allow Bansal make his reply.

As they did not relent, Kumar adjourned the House till tomorrow.

Rajya Sabha also witnesses similar scenes at 1400 hrs when it reassembled after the second adjournment.

Opposition members trooped into the Well shouting slogans and holding placards.

The Upper House was to take up discussion on the Rail Budget.

Despite appeals from the Chair, members did not relent and the House was finally adjourned for the day.
