The Upper House passed the Supplementary Demands for Grants for 2010-11 by voice vote and without debate, as opposition members disrupted proceedings by raising slogans inside the well.
Notwithstanding the unabated pandemonium created by the Opposition over JPC probe on the 16th working day, Parliament today concluded crucial financial business with Rajya Sabha passing the supplementary demands for railways of Rs1024.61 crore amid din.
The Upper House passed the Supplementary Demands for Grants for 2010-11 by voice vote and without debate, as opposition members disrupted proceedings by raising slogans inside the well.
An important measure, the National Identification Authority of India Bill 2010, was also introduced in the House where the Question Hour was earlier disrupted when it met in the morning.
While the government pushed through these important measures, the opposition continued to raise slogans demanding a joint parliamentary committee probe into the 2G spectrum scam, repeating scenes witnessed over the last 15 successive working days.
The House was adjourned till 1430 hours.
Similar scenes were witnessed in the Lok Sabha where speaker Meira Kumar appealed to the protesting members to allow the House to take up private members' business.
Observing that private members' business has not so far been taken up in this session, she said the members might not get another opportunity in future if their items were not taken up today.
"It is my earnest appeal to all sections of the House to allow private members business", she said before adjourning the House till 1530 hours.
Earlier, Kumar made a reference to the differently-abled people on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities and underlined the need for ensuring that such people get the rightful place in the society.
She also led the House in paying homage to the first President Rajendra Prasad.
