Budget Session Highlights: Both House adjourned amid sloganeering; to resume at 11 am tomorrow
Both Houses were adjourned for the day briefly after resumption, following sloganeering from Opposition parties, who demanded a JPC probe on Adani issue. Opposition leaders disrupted the proceedings with 'Modi-Adani Bhai Bhai' slogans and held placards. Both Houses are to resume at 11 am on Tuesday.
Parliament on Monday approved the Union Budget for 2023-24 with the Lok Sabha clearing the Finance Bill as amended by the Rajya Sabha, amid continuous uproar by the Opposition over the Adani issue.
The amendment to the Finance Bill 2023, which sought to correct an error with regard to the tax rate on Securities Transaction Tax (STT), was moved by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
