The Rajya Sabha witnessed a stormy proceedings on the second day of the second part of the Budget Session on Tuesday, as the Opposition continued to corner the government, storming the Well.
Congress members trooped into the Well of the House raising slogans against the Government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi after Leader of the House and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said no discussion other than on proclamation of President Rule in Uttarakhand can take place.
"Modi teri taanashahi nahi chalegi, nahi chalegi (dictatorship of Narendra Modi will not be tolerated)," they shouted.
Justifying imposition of central rule in the state, Jaitley said the "real breakdown of constitutional machinery" happened in Uttarakhand when the presiding officer (Speaker) "ignored" the vote of 35 out of 67 members against the appropriation bill to declare it passed.
Deputy Chairman P J Kurien's pleading that the Chair was in favour of a discussion and the protestors should allow the House to function went unheeded, forcing him to adjourn the proceedings till lunch break.
Meanwhile, launching a counteroffensive against Congress, which has accused the Modi government of 'murdering democracy', Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said, "Butchers cannot be preachers."
