Both houses of parliament were disrupted on Monday
over various issues including the riots in Kishtwar, the alleged solar
scam in Kerala and the purportedly illegal land deals of Robert Vadra,
the son-in-law of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.
As
soon as the Lok Sabha met at 11 am, members of the Left parties rushed
towards the speaker's podium over the solar scam that pertains to an
alleged fraud by a woman and her partner who duped clients on the
pretext of offering solar energy solutions at a discount. Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP) members raised the issue of Indian Administrative
Service officer Ashok Khemka's allegations in land deals involving Vadra
and the riots in Kishtwar town in Jammu and Kashmir.
In
the Rajya Sabha also, Left members shouted slogans over Kerala's solar
scam that read 'Solar scam in Kerala' and 'Shame on the nation' when it
assembled at 11 a.m. Soon after, Chairman. Mohammad Hamid Ansari
adjourned the house for 15 minutes and then till noon. When the house
reassembled at noon, Deputy Chairman P.J. Kurien allowed Leader of
Opposition Arun Jaitley of the BJP to make a statement on the Kishtwar
riots, he was stopped by Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs
Rajeev Shukla who said the government was ready to make a statement.
