Oppn stalls Assembly proceedings for second consecutive day

Hyderabad, June 12 : The State Legislative Assembly was adjourned without transacting any business for the second consecutive day on Thursday.

As soon as the House met, the opposition parties gave adjournment notices on different issue which were disallowed by Assembly Speaker Nadendla Manohar. Following uproar created by the opposition members insisting on discussions on the issues raised by them, the Speaker adjourned the House for half-an-hour at about 9.10 AM.

Similar scenes were witnessed when the House re-assembled at about 10.16 AM. The TRS members went near the Speaker’s podium and resorted to slogan shouting. Meanwhile, Finance Minister Anam Narayan Reddy slammed the behaviour of the opposition parties and alleged that they were not honouring the commitment that they gave during the Business Advisory Committee meetings. He said the opposition parties have agreed to hold discussions on farmers’ problems, power crisis, fee reimbursement, Bayyaram mines and other issue. But now all opposition parties were trying to push their own agenda.

The Finance Minister made a controversial remark against the opposition parties which was later expunged from the records by the Speaker as it was unparliamentary.

Following uproar over Anam’s remarks, the House was again adjourned for half-an-hour at about 10.27 AM.

Normaly could not be restored when the House re-assembled at about 12.36 PM. The TRS members continued their protest demanding Telangana resolution in the House. With no signs of normalcy returning to the House, the Speaker adjourned the House for the day. INN
