Three bills introduced in LS on second day of Monsoon session

New Delhi: The Lok Sabha on Tuesday witnessed acrimonious scenes over several issues, including farmers' plight and incidents involving cow vigilantes, forcing the Speaker to adjourn the House for the day.

Amid the noisy scenes, the government introduced three bills.

The bills introduced were the Requisitioning and Acquisition of Immovable Property (Amendment) Bill, 2017, the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains (Amendment) Bill, 2017 and the Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy Bill, 2017.

After the bills were introduced, Mahajan adjourned the House for the day.

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge wanted to raise the plight of farmers but Speaker Sumitra Mahajan did not allow the issue to be discussed during the Question Hour.

"Please raise your issues during Zero Hour," Mahajan said.

But the Congress, the Left, RJD and TMC members were on their feet. They started shouting slogans against the government and trooped near the Speaker's podium holding placards in their hands.

Amid the noisy scenes, Mahajan adjourned the House till 12 noon.

The scene was no different when the House met again, with the opposition members rushing towards the Speaker's podium to interrupt the proceeding.

Some members were holding placards that read: "Gau mata to bahana hai, karz maafi se dhyan hatana hai" and "Vijay Mallya ko bhagaya, kisano ko rulaya."
