New Delhi: Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 4 p.m on Monday amid opposition’s protest over GST on essential goods and inflation among other issues.
The House met at 2 p.m. instead of the usual 11 a.m. due to the swearing-in ceremony of President Droupadi Murmu.
Soon after, Leader of House Piyush Goyal hit out at the opposition members over their claims that Leader of Opposition was made to sit in a seat “not commensurate with the position he holds”.
Goyal said that the oath-taking ceremony was a Home Ministry event and the Leader of Opposition was given a seat according to hierarchy.
The Chair adjourned the House as opposition members trooped in the Well of the House and continued sloganeering.
