Parliament Winter Session Day 3 | Currency ban debate: Both Houses adjourned till Monday without transacting any business

Both Houses of Indian Parliament – Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha had another rocky day on Friday as the demands from opposition for government’s clarification on demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes refused to die down. 

BJP MPs raised slogans over the issue of of Ghulam Nabi Azad’s controversial  remark during the day 2 proceedings, even as it was expunged from the records. 

On Thursday, both the Houses barely saw any debate as all major party leaders repeatedly created ruckus demanding a speech from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue of currency ban. 

On day 3 of the winter session, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley was expected to give a speech in Upper and Lower House, but he did not do so. However, PM Modi did not make an appearance on Friday as well. 

Friday will also be a lean day as the second part of the way is reserved for private members bill is unlikely to be used for debate on demonetisation or any other major bill proceedings.
