When the Parliament is closed, the opposition is raising the heat outside, protesting with tambourines, placards and applause – demand of JPC

Parliament Session: The second phase of the Parliament budget session has been marred by uproar. High-level drama was witnessed inside Parliament on Friday, where opposition MPs’ mikes were allegedly switched off, and proceedings were adjourned till Monday within 15 minutes without any discussion. The opposition demanded a discussion on the Adani issue and an uproar has started over alleged opposition MPs not being allowed to speak. Meanwhile, there was a need to mute the broadcast of Parliament TV as well. Now the leaders of all the opposition parties have sat on a dharna in front of the Gandhi statue in the Parliament premises.

Those protesting include former Congress president Sonia Gandhi, party president Mallikarjun Kharge and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, including all opposition MPs. An MP standing next to Rahul Gandhi can be seen holding a placard reading ‘We Demand JPC ON Adani Scam’. Opposition MPs are shouting slogans, playing tambourines and clapping too.
