The Opposition’s demands for discussion on issues like the US bribery charges against the Adani Group and the violence in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal crippled Parliament on Wednesday.

Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the day amid after Opposition members trooped to the Well of the House raising slogans as soon as the House reconvened at 12noon.

BJP member Dilip Saikia, who was in the chair, adjourned the proceedings for the day after parliamentary papers were laid on the table.

Earlier, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla had taken up the Question Hour when the House convened at 11am. However, he adjourned the proceedings amid sloganeering by the Opposition members.

The Opposition members wanted to discuss the Adani controversy and the recent violence in Sambhal.

In the Upper House too, proceedings were adjourned for the day as Opposition members insisted on a discussion on issues including bribery charges related to the Adani Group.

The proceedings were briefly adjourned in the morning session due to the Opposition protest and when the House re-assembled at 11.30am, there were identical scenes.

This prompted Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar to adjourn the proceedings for the day, saying the "House is not in order".

The trouble started after Dhankhar rejected 18 notices under a rule of the House to suspend scheduled business and take up issues mentioned in the notices.

The notices related to demand for 'constitution of a JPC [Joint Parliamentary Committee] to investigate the alleged misconduct, including corruption, bribery, financial irregularities of the Adani Group in connivance with other authorities', violence in Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh and rising incidents of crime in the national capital.

"Upper House needs to reflect and follow well-established traditions that ruling of the chair requires reference and not cause differences. I have, in detail, given reasons why, in these situations, notices are not being accepted," Dhankhar said while rejecting the notices under Rule 267 of the House.

On Monday also, the Parliament was logjammed as the Opposition insisted on raising the issues related to Adani Group.

There was no sitting of Parliament on Tuesday.

The Adani Group said on Wednesday that Gautam Adani, and his nephew Sagar have not been charged with any violation of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in the indictment that authorities filed in the New York court in an alleged bribery case and have only been accused of violations that involve penalties.
