What Happened In Parliament On Day 1?

The Parliament's Winter Session proceedings started on Monday on a stormy note with protests in both houses. First, Speaker Om Birla and Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar paid tributes to former members of both Houses at 11 AM.

Immediately after the obituary reference, Lok Sabha was adjourned till noon. Rajya Sabha continued with ministers' statements. But Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge demanded a discussion on the Adani issue. However, Dhankhar denied the request and adjourned the Rajya Sabha till 11:45 AM. When the House resumed proceedings, the Opposition raised slogans to press for their demand. This prompted Dhankhar to adjourn proceedings till 11 AM on Wednesday.

The Lok Sabha was promptly dismissed at noon right after proceedings resumed. Deputy Speaker Sandhya Ray adjourned the House after sloganeering by Opposition MPs.
