Parliament adjourns on Manipur as Opp wants PM's statement

Just as the Lok Sabha assembled for the day, Leader of the Congress Party in the Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said considering the conditions in the State, the party was urging for a suo moto statement by the Prime Minister. Heavens would not fall, if he made the statement, he said.

Speaker Om Birla said the discussion sought by the party could be raised at 12 noon, as the whole House wanted to discuss the issue. Who will give the reply to the discussion cannot be decided by members, he said. The Minister in-charge of the subject would reply to the debate, Mr Birla said.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said the Prime Minister had expressed pain over the situation and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had informed the House that the Government was ready for the discussion. In such a situation, the Speaker said the members should let the House run.
