Modi meets with top ministers

Both Houses of Parliament witness ruckus by Opposition members demanding JPC in the Adani issue

New Delhi (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday held a meeting with his top Cabinet Ministers in the Parliament.

The Minister included Union Ministers Pralhad Joshi, Piyush Goyal, Narendra Singh Tomar, Kiren Rijiju and Anurag Thakur. Thursday was the fourth day of the second leg of the Budget session of Parliament.

Later, Parliament was adjourned for the day amid a ruckus.

While Congress and other Opposition parties insisted on their demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the AdaniHindenburg row, the BJP members demanded an apology from Rahul Gandhi over his remarks made in London.

Meanwhile in the Upper House, the Trinamool Congress MPs entered the Well of the Rajya Sabha with a black cloth tied around their mouths as they registered a unique protest which led to the adjournment in both Houses. A similar protest was seen in Lok Sabha as well.

New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Congress staged a protest near Lt Governor VK Saxena’s office here, demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the Adani issue. Several leaders and workers led by party president Anil Chaudhary gathered near Raj Niwas with placards and raised slogans against the BJP and the Centre. Chaudhary alleged that instead of accepting the demand for a JPC probe, the BJP has been creating “roadblocks” for MPs raising the issue in Parliament.
