New Delhi: Union minister Piyush Goyal on Wednesday sought strict action against opposition members creating ruckus and heckling marshalls in the Rajya Sabha as the Upper House was adjourned sine die two days ahead of the scheduled end of the Monsoon Session.
The house saw the passage of four Bills, including the Constitution Amendment Bill to grant powers to states to have their own OBC lists and privatisation of state-run insurance companies.
Leader of the House Piyush Goyal, while thanking the members participating in the debates and helping in the passage of Bills, demanded strict action against the opposition MPs who created ruckus in the Upper House.
He demanded that a high-level committee be formed to look into the behaviour of members who hurt the security staff and tarnished the reputation of the august house.
Opposition members created ruckus during the proceedings in the house when the general insurance Bill was taken up, with some of them allegedly manhandling the security staff and marshalls in order to prevent its passage.
Opposition members continued their protests over Pegasus, farm laws and other issues that have marred the proceedings since the beginning of the session on July 19, and they later walked out of the House.
“The 254th session of the Rajya Sabha which commences on July 19 has now come to a close,” deputy chairman Harivansh announced. “The house is adjourned sine die,” he said.
Earlier in the day, Lok Sabha was also adjourned sine die.
