LS Adjourned Amid Opposition Protests Over Adani Indictment, Sambhal Violence

GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 2nd Dec. The Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the day on Monday amid intense protests by opposition members, who raised issues regarding the Adani indictment in a US court on bribery charges and the recent violence in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh. As soon as the House reconvened after the first adjournment, opposition members rushed to the Well, demanding a discussion on these issues, while some raised slogans from the aisles.

Despite the disruptions, the Coastal Shipping Bill, 2024, was introduced by Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal. BJP’s Sandhya Ray, who was in the Chair, urged members to allow the House to function and pointed out that the voters’ issues were being watched. However, the protests continued, and Ray adjourned the House for the day.

This followed a similar scenario last week when the Lok Sabha was also disrupted over the same issues. Earlier, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju was seen talking to Congress leader K C Venugopal and other opposition leaders.

The Adani Group has denied the bribery charges in the US case, asserting that neither Gautam Adani nor his nephew Sagar have been accused of violating the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
