Parliament Day 5 | Currency ban debate: Senior ministers meet FM Jaitley over demonetisation; Houses adjourn amid ruckus

Bhartiya Janta Party is set to have a strategy meeting before another day of Parliament’s winter session. According to reports, PM Modi is expected to attend the meeting.

So far, the both houses of parliament have not been able to function due to continued demands of discussion and PM’s clarification on demonetisation by the opposition parties. 

Opposition parties, led by Congress and JDU, have been united in creating pressure on the ruling government. 

On Monday, some work in the form of Question Hour transpired in Lok Sabha, while Rajya Sabha remained mostly disrupted.
