Tribune News Service

New Delhi, December 7

Disturbances in the Rajya Sabha continued throughout the day without transacting any substantial business over the issue of suspension of 12 MPs. The House was adjourned for the day after repeated stoppages amid protest by Opposition members, who further hardened their stance of not allowing the House to function before revocation of the suspension order.

However, amid din, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya introduced the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Bill, 2021, and the Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill, 2020.

The House witnessed two adjournments before the final one for the day around 3.10 pm. As soon as the House reassembled at 3 pm, Deputy Chairman Harivansh asked Mandaviya to introduce the Bills.
