Adani row: Parliament adjourned for the day without any work as Opposition continues protest

The Budget Session seems to be headed for a washout with the Opposition refusing to relent on its demand for a debate on the Adani-Hindenburg conspiracy, and the government standing its ground.

6 February once again saw adjournment of both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha for the day without transaction of listed business. Both Houses of Parliament were first adjourned till 2 pm soon after convening. After the session began again, the Opposition raised their demand for a debate and a JPC probe.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi told the Opposition that they can raise any issues they want during the discussion on the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address. But with the protests continuing, the Speaker and Chairman adjourned the Houses for the day.
