BRS leaders K Keshava Rao and Nama Nageshwara Rao served a suspension of business notice under Rule 267 in Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha respectively, demanding a discussion on the Manipur situation.
However, their motions were rejected by the Chairman and the Speaker respectively. Soon after both the Houses met for the day, the Opposition MPs were on their feet demanding discussion on the situation in Manipur.
The leaders also raised slogans. Loka Sabha Speaker Om Birla took up the Question Hour and urged members to take their seats. With the Opposition showing no signs of slowing down, both Houses were adjourned.
Amid uproar over the Manipur violence by the Opposition parties, the Lok Sabha has been adjourned till 12 noon and Rajya Sabha till 2.30 pm on Friday.
The Opposition upped the ante over the Manipur issue, even as the ruling BJP maintained that the Centre was willing to have a discussion on the issue, but after regular business proceedings were carried out.
