NEW DELHI: The political impasse in the parliament went on for the sixth consecutive day as opposition Parliament members protested on the first floor of the parliament and demanded a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) inquiry into the Adani issue.

The parliament has been unable to complete any significant tasks since the start of the second phase of the budget session on March 13.

Many opposition parties are calling for a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the Hindenburg-Adani incident, while the ruling party BJP is demanding an apology from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for remarks he made in the UK.

Members of the ruling party and opposition benches resorted to yelling chants to make their respective demands, causing chaos in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.

The members disrupted the proceedings of both houses of parliament by shouting slogans.

Due to the continued confusion brought on by the conflicting demands, the Lok Sabha and Rajya

Sabha were first adjourned until 2 pm.

Speaker Om Birla announced that he would allow members from both the opposition and the treasury benches to speak during the question hour, subject to the rules.  He also invited members to approach him in his chamber to try to break the impasse.

The Lower House has not been able to conduct functions since the past days for the second leg of the Budget session. The opposition has been slammingh the ruling BJP for creating pandemonium in the House and for not allowing it to function.
