Parliament proceedings began amid chaos on Monday as Opposition MPs raised slogans in the Lok Sabha over the recent stampede incident at the ongoing Maha Kumbh Mela in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj that killed at least 30 people.
The opposition members resorted to sloganeering, targetting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, as they raised the issue of the Maha Kumbh stampede.
Slogans like ‘Modi Yogi down down’, ‘Modi-Yogi shame shame’ were raised in the Lok Sabha as the question hour continued.
Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla asked the opposition members if they have been sent by the voters to ask questions or break tables.
Sloganeering continued all through the question hour. At the end of the hour, Birla urged members to never let the question hour be interrupted and raise whatever issues they want after that period. He added that all the issues can be raised during the Motion of Thanks for the President’s Address.
