Before the second day of the Parliament monsoon session began, the Congress moved an adjournment motion notice in the Lok Sabha over the poor condition of farmers across the country. The Opposition seems to attack the Narendra Modi-led NDA government on several issues like farmer’s protests, lynching incidents, Jammu-Kashmir unrest and the border standoff with China.
The monsoon session of the Parliament, that commenced on Monday, saw the adjournment of both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. It coincided with the presidential polls, just after the obituary references were read and the oath was administered to the new ministers. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who arrived at the Parliament to cast his vote in the Presidential polls, hoped that all parties would contribute constructively during the House debates in this session.
