Vociferous protests by members of the Trinamool Congress today forced the adjournment of the Rajya Sabha for the day, as it failed to complete a discussion on Assam's National register of Citizens and the reply to it by Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
The House had witnessed an adjournment in the morning
Roy said "if any member who is so called upon does not speak, he shall not be entitled except with the permission of the Chair. Here, in this case, one honourable member has already spoken. How can he speak twice? There is no provision in the rules."
With disruptions continuing, Naidu said: "Are we at the mercy of one party? Why have your people (from Assam) have not spoken (when) an opportunity came to your party. Your party should have first given the opportunity to Assam members."
