Parliament session highlights: ‘Why afraid of using Nehru surname’-PM's dig at Gandhi family

Parliament session highlights: Prime Minister Narendra Modi replied to the Motion of Thanks to the President's Address in Rajya Sabha.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi replied to Motion of Thanks in Rajya Sabha amid sloganeering from Opposition MPs on Thursday in the ongoing Budget Session of the Parliament. The debate on the motion of thanks to the President's Address in Rajya Sabha concluded on Wednesday. The Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day on Wednesday evening for a lack of quorum.

President Droupadi Murmu had addressed the joint sitting of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on January 31, the first day of the Budget Session.

Modi, donning a jacket made from recycled plastic bottles, on Wednesday replied to the Motion of Thanks on President Murmu's address, calling her an 'inspiration for all'. Both Houses of the Parliament witnessed chaos as Opposition MPs targeted the ruling government over Hindenburg-Adani row, inflation and unemployment, among other issues.  

Earlier on Tuesday, Parliament witnessed a heated discussion on the President's speech after three days of stalemate over Hindenburg-Adani row.

  No convention or provision for authentication of points made in House: Kharge to Vice President

  Any direction or rule of the House cannot subvert the constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech granted to members of Parliament, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said, asserting that any criticism of the government and its policies can never be equated with the "dignity" of the Council of States, reported PTI.

  Kharge also asserted that it would be an "inversion of the system of governance" if the opposition members were expected to carry out complete investigation, gather evidence and then raise a matter on the floor of the House.

  The remarks in a letter to Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar come after Kharge was asked repeatedly by the Chair to authenticate some allegations he levelled in the House while speaking on the motion of thanks on the President's address on Wednesday.

  "PM Misleading Nation...":Mallikarjun Kharge

  Speaking to reporters outside the parliament, Kharge said that the Prime Minister shrugged off giving a reply on Hindenberg-adani row in the parliament.

  "Wealth of one person increased 13 times in 2.5 years. In 2014 it was ₹50,000 crore while in 2019 it became ₹one lakh crore. What magic happened that suddenly in two years wealth rose to ₹12 lakh crore," Kharge said while participating in the debate.
