Manish Tewari gives notice for adjournment motion in Lok Sabha to discuss border situation with China

New Delhi, July 26

Congress MP Manish Tewari on Friday gave an Adjournment Motion Notice in Lok Sabha and demanded a discussion on “border situation and huge trade deficit with China”.

The issue of adjournment notices has agitated Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, who gave a ruling in the Upper House two days ago against indiscriminate use of adjournment motion tool which has been used sparsely through parliamentary history — just about six times.

Dhankhar rapped opposition MPs in Rajya Sabha for repeatedly moving adjournment notices on a daily basis following which no such notice was received on Thursday.

In Lok Sabha, however, the trend continues with Tewari asking for all house business to be halted to discuss the border situation with China.
