NEW DELHI, Aug 11: Expressing deep anguish over the sequence of events that unfolded on Tuesday in Rajya Sabha with some Opposition members climbing on the table, Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu today broke down in the House, saying he had no words to condemn such acts.
The Opposition members, however, remained unaffected and continued their protests by shouting slogans and rushing to the Well of the House. This forced the Chairman to adjourn the House till 12 noon.
“I am distressed by the way this sacredness (members climbing on the table) was destroyed yesterday. While some members sat on the table, some others climbed on the table of the House perhaps to be more visible by such acts of sacrilege. I have no words to convey my anguish to condemn such acts,” Naidu said as he broke down. He said he could not sleep yesterday as he struggled to find reasons or provocation which forced the House to such a low. (PTI)
