The Rajya Sabha on Monday was adjourned till 12.30 pm, minutes after it commenced.
The session began with condolences being paid for the 130 deaths in the Kanpur train derailment on Sunday.
Immediately after, Opposition members sought a similar reference for the deaths caused by standing in queues outside ATMs since the government’s demonetisation move.
“If there can be condolence for the deaths caused in a train accident then why not for the people who died standing in the queue outside ATMs after the demonetisation,” asked Communist Party of India-Marxist’s (CPI-M’s) Sitaram Yechury.
In the midst of a continuous uproar, Deputy Chairman PJ Kurien adjourned the house.
