Both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha adjourned for the day ; No Confidence motion not taken up

 New Delhi, Mar 20 (IBNS) : Continuous ruckus by a section of the opposition forced adjournment of both house of Parliament for the day  on Tuesday resulting in a washout of the second part of the budget session for 12 consecutive days, media reports said. 

In the Lok Sabha,  Speaker Sumitra Mahajan disallowed for the third time no-confidence motions against the Government as the House refused to come to order.

The motion was brought by BJP's estranged ally Telugu Desam Party.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who announced in the Rajya Sabha that all the  39 Indians, kidnapped by ISISIS terrorists  in Iraq in 2014 are dead, could not make a statement on the subject in the lower House because of persistent uproar.

At this point, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said, "The country has never seen such a sorry state, this is not proper. You are insensitive for your own people."

She said the House is not in order and so no-confidence motion cannot be moved.
