Rajya Sabha adjourned sine die without Lokpal vote (Lead)
December 30th, 2011 - 1:42 am ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Dec 30 (IANS) Chairman Hamid Ansari adjourned the Rajya Sabha sine die after a ruckus in the house ahead of the scheduled vote on the contentious Lokpal bill.
“There appears to be a desire to out-shout each other,” Ansari said, as members were shouting at one another with the government citing “constitutional procedures” to allow the house function past midnight on the last day of the winter session.
“The house cannot be conducted now. That requires orderly proceedings. The chair has no option, must reluctantly… I am afraid I cannot do anything we better all go home. The house is adjourned sine die,” he said.
