Lok Sabha adjourned until Monday

The Lok Sabha was adjourned on Friday until Monday following the presentation of the Union Budget by Finance Minister Arun Jaitely. There will be no Lok Sabha sitting on Friday in view of the death of BJP MP Chintaman Vanga on January 30, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said.

“The practise is to adjourn the House whenever there is a demise of a sitting member. But the president has convened the session so that a constitutional responsibility (of presenting the Budget) be carried out,” the Speaker said.
