Adityanath referred to the Allahabad High Court judgement on Ayodhya dispute and said, even the High Court has admitted that the disputed place is Sri Ram Janmabhoomi. "Nobody can deny that. The matter is before the Supreme Court, but how can the government trample upon the right of people and sadhus to perform religious yatra?", he asked.
As Janata Dal-United leader Sharad Yadav rose and questioned how VHP was claiming to be the sole representative of Hindus, BJP members stood up in protest, and the Speaker hurriedly adjourned the house till 2 pm.
Earlier, the controversial Ayodhya yatra and subsequent developments paralysed Parliament today with BJP and SP members creating uproar leading to adjournment of both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha twice before noon.
Immediately after swearing-in of new members in both Houses, MPs from BJP and SP were on their feet creating uproar over the yatra.
In the Lok Sabha, SP members trooped into the Well on the issue, even as BJP members led by Yogi Aditya Nath protested from their seats.
At one point, agitating SP members returned to their seats after Speaker Meira Kumar assured them that their party leader would be allowed to raise the issue.
Aditya Nath argued that he should be given an opportunity to speak first.
