Rajya Sabha adjourned over KVP Bill on AP Special Status
The Rajya Sabha was disrupted on Monday over a private member\'s bill on giving special status to Andhra Pradesh, which could not be taken up in the House on Friday due to pandemonium.
​New Delhi: The Rajya Sabha was disrupted on Monday over a private member's bill on giving special status to Andhra Pradesh, which could not be taken up in the House on Friday due to pandemonium.
The Congress, which raised the issue on Monday morning as well, disrupted the proceedings post-lunch over the issue, with its leader Anand Sharma saying they will not allow business unless the Andhra Pradesh special status bill is discussed.
"It was done by design... disrupt the house and do injustice to the state. Now we want the Andhra matter to be discussed in the house officially. We will not discuss anything unless it is discussed," Sharma said.
Deputy Chairman P.J. Kurien, however, said the bill can be taken up only on Friday this week, as on that day the private members' resolutions would be taken up.
Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi also said that private members' bills cannot be taken up except on Friday.
Congress member Madhusudan Mistry, however, pointed out that there was a provision of changing the day for private members' business.
