Rajya Sabha adjourned till 3 pm after uproar by Opposition over CAA and NRC. Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav had moved the Motion of Thanks on President Ram Nath Kovind's speech. 

Hailing the government's decision to scrap the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, Verma said, "Our party doesn't believe in vote bank politics." He also congratulated the government for criminalising the practice of instant triple talaq. "Nobody spoke about poverty. IT is our government which has worked for their upliftment. We have looked after their pension, provided them with electricity and sanitation facilities. All these achievements pinch the opposition. While giving these facilities, we never look at their religion, caste or creed."

Verma was recently removed by the EC as a star campaigner for BJP over his remarks on Shaheen Bagh protests. "The opposition in the country has today shrunk because of their attitude. The opposition creates problems, and we resolve them," he said in Lok Sabha today.

Whenever Thakur was responding to supplementaries during the Question Hour, the members began sloganeering against him.

Slamming the Centre for the violence at Jamia Milia Islamia, MP Asaduddin Owaisi said: "We are with the students of Jamia. This government has brutally behaved with students. Do they know that students have lost their eyes? Do they know our daughters were beaten? The Centre is not ashamed that they are beating up children, they shooting them down."

Raising the incidents of firing in the capital, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhry said, "Common people of India are protesting to save the constitution, they are protesting while holding the constitution & singing the national anthem but they are being fired at. People of India are being killed mercilessly."

The Rajya Sabha has been adjourned till 2pm.

However, members kept raising slogans.

As soon as the House took up Question Hour, members raised slogans against the Citizenship Amendment Act. "Say no to CAA", "save our democracy" and "save our Constitution" were some of the slogans raised by them.
