A day after both Houses of the Parliament were adjourned over Opposition’s protests towards the brand new farm legal guidelines, the federal government allotted an additional 5 hours for discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s deal with, during which the farmers’ protests and surrounding points are anticipated to be debated.
Early on Wednesday, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi mentioned that he had spoken to the Leader of Opposition and there’s a consensus to present extra time for discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s deal with.
Accordingly, the Question Hour shall be suspended on Tuesday and Wednesday to clear up time for this. The Zero Hour scheduled for Thursday shall be suspended as effectively.
Leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad backed Mr. Joshi’s assertion, including that no less than 18 Opposition events wish to talk about farmers’ concern within the additional 5 hours allotted for discussion on President’s deal with.
This brings the overall time set aside for discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s deal with in Rajya Sabha to fifteen hours.
“Normally this is not done,” says Mr. Naidu, referring to suspension of Question Hour and Zero Hour, including, “however there’s a particular request and broad consensus, therefore I’m permitting it.”
