Rajya Sabha Adjourned Sine Die Amid Opposition Walkout, One Day Ahead of Schedule

GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 10th August. The Rajya Sabha was adjourned sine die on Friday, one sitting ahead of its scheduled end, following a day marked by an Opposition walkout. The Upper House was initially set to function until August 12.

After multiple adjournments during the post-lunch session, the House reconvened at 3:30 PM, when Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar expressed his concern over the conduct of Opposition members both inside and outside the House. Shortly thereafter, at 3:54 PM, Dhankhar adjourned the House sine die.

Earlier in the day, a tense exchange occurred between Chairman Dhankhar and actor-politician Jaya Bachchan. Bachchan objected to the chairman’s tone while granting her the floor to speak, prompting Dhankhar to assert that even a celebrity like her must adhere to the decorum of the House.
