New Delhi:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday gave 'Vote of Thanks' on President's Speech at the start of Budget Session on January 31. 

Day 6 of the Budget Session in the Parliament started peacefully as several leaders of Opposition participated peacefully in Question Hour.

However, the budget session is also expected to face ruckus as opposition plans to call out the government on non-fulfilment of budgetary promises made in Union Budget 2016-17.

Meanwhile, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will try to move a bill related to demonetisation.

The budget session started on January 31. On day 1, President Mukherjee opened the session with ceremonial speech defining the Modi Govt’s achievements during the term, while Finance Minister presented Economic survey

On Day 2 February 1, Jaitley presented the Union Budget 2017-18. Although the day started at an unfortunate note, as sitting MP EAhamed passed away that day early in morning, casting a cloud of confusion over the postponement of the budget. However, the budget was presented after two minutes silence.

February 2, Day 3 of the budget session in Lok Sabha was however suspended as an homage to the deceased MP. 

Day 4 of the budget session remained in limbo as it was marked with several adjournments. 

On Day 5 Monday, the House saw frequent disruptions as the Opposition demanded a probe into the manner in which the death of Ahamed was “handled” by the government, alleging that he had died soon after being rushed to the hospital but it was announced much later. Congress leader Kharge also made a controversial remark regarding the patriotism on the ruling party, which was soon expunged by Lok Sabha Speaker.
