Uproar in Parliament over VHP's Ayodhya march ban

August 26, 2013

Ayodhya_marchNew Delhi, Aug 26: VHP's controversial Ayodhya yatra and subsequent developments paralysed Parliament on Monday with BJP and SP members creating uproar leading to adjournment of both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha twice before noon.

The Parliament was again adjourned till 2 pm after uproar over VHP yatra and protests by Samajwadi Party members against attack on their office in Delhi.

Immediately after swearing-in of new members in both Houses, MPs from BJP and SP were on their feet creating uproar over the yatra.

In the Lok Sabha, SP members trooped into the Well on the issue, even as BJP members led by Yogi Aditya Nath protested from their seats.

At one point, agitating SP members returned to their seats after Speaker Meira Kumar assured them that their party leader would be allowed to raise the issue.

Aditya Nath argued that he should be given an opportunity to speak first.

Provoked by this, SP members again trooped into the Well. As ruckus continued, the House was adjourned till 11.30 am.

When it reassembled, similar scenes were witnessed and BJP members did not allow SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav to speak.

Two Congress members from Seemandhra region kept shouting in the Well holding placards demanding united Andhra Pradesh.

Amid din, the House was adjourned till noon.

In the Rajya Sabha, SP members were on their feet alleging attack by BJP workers on their Delhi office, a charge strongly denied by the main opposition party.

Chairman Hamid Ansari's repeated efforts to restore normalcy in the House did not yield result. He first adjourned the House for 15 minutes and then till noon.

Earlier, senior Congress leader BK Hariprasad, who was elected from Karnataka to the Upper House, took oath.

In the Lok Sabha, two newly elected Congress MPs from Karnataka - actress-turned politician Ramya and D K Suresh - took oath as new members.

The Uttar Pradesh government on Sunday stopped VHP from carrying out its "84 kosi parikrama yatra".

Live updates from Parliament:

* BJP MP Yogi Adityanath said in Lok Sabha that high court had recognised Ayodhya as the birthplace of Lord Ram and government should bring in a law for Ram temple.

* He further added that VHP was only seeking its rights with the 84 kos yatra.

* He slammed the Samajwadi Party for creating a jungle raj in Uttar Pradesh and demanded that the state government be dismissed. he further added that SP was changing the meaning of secularism.

* He went on to slam the Uttar Pradesh government of providing shelters to jehadis and thus hurting sentiments of Hindus.

* Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav said in Lok Sabha that the UP government was following Supreme Court orders and had therefore banned VHP yatra.

* He said that the BJP wanted to garner votes though 'danga' (riots) during yatra.

* When asked about the BJP protests on VHP yatra crackdown by Uttar Pradesh Police, he said, "Tell me, did anybody get hurt?"

Patna, Jan 23: "They should go wherever they want," Bihar Chief Minister and JDU supremo Nitish Kumar said on Thursday when asked of Prashant Kishor and Pavan Verma's repeated questions about the party's stand's on the newly enacted Citizenship Act.

"It is their personal decision. They should go wherever they want. We don't have an objection. Don't look at JDU in the context of statements by some people. JDU works with determination. We have a clear stand and don't have any confusion," the Chief Minister told reporters here.

"If they have something to tell, they should come and discuss it within the party. They should go wherever they want. They have my good wishes," he said.

JDU spokesperson and national general secretary Pavan Verma has questioned his party's alliance with the BJP in Delhi Assembly polls while Kishor has more than once made his differences with the party known on the issue of the amended Citizenship Act, and National Register of Citizens.

New Delhi, Feb 17: Four death row convicts in the 2012 Nirbhaya gang rape and murder will be hanged on March 3 at 6 am a Delhi court said on Monday.

The Patiala House Court on Monday issued fresh death warrants against four convicts while hearing a petition by the state and Nirbhaya's parents.

Earlier, Delhi High Court on February 5 granted a week's time to the four convicts to avail of all legal remedies available to them and said that the convicts cannot be hanged separately since they were convicted for the same crime.

A Delhi Court had earlier issued a death warrant against the four convicts -- Vinay Sharma, Akshay Thakur, Pawan Gupta, and Mukesh Singh -- on January 7 and they were scheduled to be executed on January 22 at Tihar Jail. Later, the execution was suspended indefinitely by a Delhi court.
