in Lok Sabha over Telangana, Moga
New Delhi, May 5 The Lok Sabha was adjourned twice during
question hour on Tuesday after members from Telangana raised the demand for a
separate high court in the state.
Soon after the house assembled, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan rejected the motion for
adjournment moved by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) on the issue of the
court and by the Congress and the AAP over the molestation and death of a girl
in Moga in Punjab.
Former Punjab chief minister Amrinder Singh, the Congress' deputy leader in the
Lok Sabha, and Aam Aadmi Party's Bhagwant Maan moved adjournment motions to
discuss the Moga case but the speaker rejected the plea.
The speaker continuously asked the members to raise the issue during zero hour
but the TRS protests went on.
Some TRS members proceeded towards the speaker's chair, leading to an
adjournment of the house for 10 minutes and then till 12 noon.
Meanwhile, Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu told the house that
the government was ready for a separate high court in Telangana but the matter
was sub-judice.
