Amid relentless Oppn demand for discussion on Adani, RS adjourned

New Delhi: Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the day on Monday without transacting any business as a united Opposition relentlessly demanded holding a discussion on the allegations of fraud against the Adani Group.
As soon as the Upper House reassembled for the afternoon session, having been adjourned earlier in the day till 2 pm, the Opposition members asked for a discussion on the issue.
Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, however, did not entertain their request and asked them to let the listed business conclude.
“…we must conclude with our listed business and that is what we should be doing,” he said.
Dhankhar asserted that discussions on the listed businesses give members “all opportunities of expression”, and “it defies logical reason why we are not availing it.” Several Opposition members reacted sharply to this and started shouting slogans, continuing with their demand.
