The Monsoon session Parliament began on a bitter note with the Opposition creating an uproar and preventing Prime Minister Narendra Modi from introducing his newly-inducted Union Minister to the House.
As the disruptions continued despite repeated pleas by the Speaker to maintain decorum, Lok Sabha was adjourned till 3.30pm , while Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 3 pm.
Criticising the Opposition for not allowing PM Modi to introduce the new ministers, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said such a thing was happening for the first time in his 24 years of parliamentary career.
“I would like to urge all the MPs and all the parties to ask the most difficult and sharpest questions in the Houses but should also allow the Government to respond, in a disciplined environment. This will boost democracy, strengthen people’s trust and improve the pace of development,” PM Modi told media persons in the Parliament House Complex.
