RS sees uproar as Opposition demands debate on alleged lapse in electoral rolls, Trump remarks

New Delhi, Mar 10 (UNI) The Rajya Sabha on Monday, the first day of the second leg of the Budget session, witnessed uproarious scenes with the Opposition members pressing for discussion on issues ranging from alleged lapse in electoral rolls to the US President Donald Trump's statement about funding for voter turnout in India.
As many as 12 notices were received under rule 267 of the House which were rejected by the Deputy Chairman Harivansh.
The members of the Opposition parties led by Congress staged a walkout from the House as their demands were declined. Some of the members also wanted discussion on concerns around the upcoming delimitation exercise.
While Harivansh cited previous rulings of the Chairman to reject the members' demand for discussion on various issues under rule 267, he urged members to send notices under other relevant provisions.
"The notices under Rule 267 have not been permitted. If the members so desire they may submit notices under any other Parliamentary device for the consideration of the Chairman," Harivansh said.
Meanwhile, the Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman on behalf of the Upper House congratulated the Indian cricket team for the win in the Champions Trophy 2025.
