The Rajasthan Legislative Assembly conducted only 66 minutes of business over two days before halting the session indefinitely, as Congress lawmakers protested the CJP movement.
Jaipur, Aug 21 — The Rajasthan Legislative Assembly convened for two days but recorded merely 66 minutes of formal proceedings before the house was adjourned indefinitely. The brief sitting was dominated by a sustained protest from Congress legislators over the ongoing CJP (Chief Justice of India) movement, which they described as a political agitation.
During the limited time on the floor, opposition members repeatedly raised slogans and disrupted the agenda, preventing any substantive debate or voting on bills. The Speaker eventually called for a suspension of the session, citing the inability to maintain order and the need for a calm environment.
The indefinite adjournment underscores the heightened political tension in the state, with the Congress party leveraging the CJP issue to challenge the ruling government. Officials have not announced a date for reconvening the assembly, leaving pending legislative business on hold.
