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.
