The Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 12 noon on Monday after a heated uproar over police action against students during the July 20 “Sansad Chalo” protest, with Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge directly accusing Union Home Minister Amit Shah of responsibility for the violence.
Kharge raised the issue in the House and said he had served a notice under Rule 267 seeking an immediate discussion on the alleged police action. He pressed the point repeatedly, describing the matter as exceptional and urging the Chair to allow debate.
Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman CP Radhakrishnan said the matter could not be taken up under the existing rules and referred to earlier rulings. “See, I have to go by the rules, or I have to break the rules-you tell me,” Radhakrishnan told the House, adding that such discussions can be permitted only on the “rarest of the rarest occasions” and with the consensus of members.
Undeterred, Kharge launched a sharp attack over the reported treatment of students, saying, “It has never happened in the history of India that the boys were beaten and they were dragged… Amit Shah ji is responsible!” his remarks drawing loud protests and shouting in the chamber.
With voices raised and no immediate agreement on allowing the discussion, the Chairman adjourned the Rajya Sabha till 12 noon. (ANI)
