Rajya Sabha witnesses uproar over CAA, NPR and related issues

The Rajya Sabha today witnessed uproar over Citizenship Amendment Act, NPR and related issues. When the house met, Derek O'Brien of TMC tried to raise the issue citing his adjournment motion but Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu denied the permission. Mr Naidu said, the members can discuss the issue during the debate on President’s address to the joint sitting of both the houses of Parliament. He repeatedly urged the agitating members to go back to their seats



but members from Congress, TMC and others continued sloganeering.

The protesting members also objected to Minister of State for Finance Anurag Thakur’s  recent reported controversial remarks during Delhi Assembly elections campaign.

Earlier, Congress members also protested when Mr. Thakur was laying paper related to his ministry on the floor of the Upper House.
