New Delhi: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla warned the members of the House on Tuesday that if they keep disrupting the meetings, he will have to hold sessions on the weekend to make up for lost time.
On Monday, the government and opposition groups agreed to end a week-long standoff in Parliament. They announced that they would discuss the Constitution, celebrating its 75th year of adoption. The Lok Sabha will discuss the Constitution on December 13 and 14, while the Rajya Sabha will take it up on December 16 and 17. To make this happen, the House will meet on Saturday, December 14, at 11 am.
Birla said, “If you continue to adjourn, you will have to attend meetings on Saturday and Sunday for every day lost.” This statement was made right after the Question Hour. He also mentioned that he did not allow any adjournment notices today.
Last week, the Lok Sabha’s meetings were canceled because of protests by opposition members over various issues, including the Adani scandal and violence in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh.
