Parliament Monsoon Session live updates | Congress MP gives adjournment motion notice in LS to discuss ‘misuse’ of ED

Here are all the updates from the fourth day of the Parliament’s Monsoon Session

Since the Monsoon Session began on July 18, the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha have failed to transact any significant business so far, and the fourth day of the Session is also expected to start on a stormy note on Thursday.

In the Lower House, Congress MP Manickam Tagore has given a notice of adjournment seeking a discussion on the alleged misuse of the Enforcement Directorate and “targeting” of “innocent” Opposition leaders. The notice comes on a day Congress president Sonia Gandhi is set to be questioned by the ED in connection with the National Herald money-laundering case.

On Wednesday, the third day of the Monsoon Session, both the Houses were adjourned because of Opposition protests on price rise and inflation. The Lower House alone discussed some issues under Rule 377 before adjourning for the day. 

Today, while the Lok Sabha will take up the Indian Antarctic Bill, 2022 for consideration and passing, the Weapons of Mass Destruction and their Delivery Systems (Prohibition of Unlawful Activities) Amendment Bill, 2022 will be discussed in the Upper House.

Here are the live updates:

Day four proceedings in the Rajya Sabha begin

Amidst continued sloganeering by Opposition leaders, day four proceedings in the Lower House begin. The Speaker urges the Opposition MPs to raise their demands after the Question Hour, but sloganeering continues.
