Rajya Sabha adjourned till 2 PM amid Opposition uproar on Bihar electoral rolls revision issue
New Delhi (PTI): Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday due to Opposition uproar following rejection of their adjournment notices to discuss various issues, including the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.
After laying of the listed papers and reports during the morning session, Deputy Chairman Harivansh said he has received 24 notices under Rule 267 demanding discussion on various issues including SIR, alleged discrimination against Bengali migrant workers in other states, and resignation of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar.
He, however, declined all the adjournment notices saying the notices do not conform to the previous directives of the Chair.
The Opposition members protested the decision. Some were raising slogans 'Vote Ki Chori Band Karo' (stop stealing votes).
The Chair urged the protesting members to let the House function so that MPs could raise their issues during the Zero Hour.
As the protests continued, the proceedings were adjourned till 2:00 p.m.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
