No more adjournments come what may, says Speaker Tuesday, April 19 2005 17:23 Hrs (IST) - World Time -
New Delhi:
Anguished over the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) sponsored uproar in Lok Sabha on filing of second affidavit in the Kargil purchase case in the Supreme Court, Speaker Somnath Chatterjee today (Apr 19, 2005) said that he would not adjourn the House from tomorrow under similar circumstances "come what may".
Calling it a day in the midst of slogan shouting by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)- led NDA members in the well of the House, Chatterjee said that he was "anguished" over the protest although he was not blaming any particular political party.
He said that the Leader of the House, Pranab Mukherjee, had agreed for an immediate discussion on the issue and requested the Opposition members to resume their seats.
As his repeated pleas for restoration of order went unheeded, Chatterjee said that he was giving a "public notice" that he would not adjourn the House under such circumstances from tomorrow (Apr 20, 2005) come what may.
