NEW DELHI: Deadlock continued for the third day in Rajya Sabha today with a united opposition insisting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should reply to a debate on communal incidents which was not acceptable to the government. Congress member Hanumantha Rao was asked to withdraw from the House for the day by Chairman Hamid Ansari after he created ruckus.Members from Congress, SP and Left stood up as soon as the House met for the day, demanding assurance that Prime Minister would be present during the debate listed for the day.Government, however, said it was ready for a discussion and accused the opposition of disrupting the House. It said the issue relates to the Ministry of Home Affairs and Home Minister Rajnath Singh would reply.An unrelenting opposition kept raising the demand and created uproar leading to one adjournment during the Zero Hour and three during the post-noon Question Hour.Amid uproar, Chairman Hamid Ansari named Congress member Hanumantha Rao under rule 255 and asked him to leave the House. He along with other opposition members was raising slogans in the Well despite warnings by the Chair. Naresh Agarwal (SP) raised a point of order demanding that Prime Minister should reply in Parliament and not at BJP Parliamentary Party meeting to announce policy decisions when Session was on and sought his reply to the debate.This prompted Leader of the House Arun Jaitley to say, "The Prime Minister has not announced any policy decisions in the party meeting. In the name of Point of Order, can Naresh Agarwal raise every day in the House a Point of Disorder?" Sitaram Yechury (CPI-M) said since the opposition is being termed as "anarchist" he wanted to raise a 'Point of Disorder' if the Prime Minister was willing to come to the House to reply to the debate on the contentious issue of communal violence as that can end the deadlock."Will the Prime Minister come to listen to our discussion and reply to it? Then the country will know who are anarchists - we or they," he said.Anand Sharma (Cong) said, "If the Prime Minister does not come, there will be no work in this House. This House will not run, let us make it clear."Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, "Government is ready for discussion but opposition only wants disruption."Sharma said the whole country is watching that anarchy in the House is due to the government's attitude and demanded that the Prime Minister be present to reply to the debate.He said the Prime Minister should hear the Opposition and answer their questions on the issue as it was a reasonable demand in a democracy.Sharad Yadav (JD-U) said this House was restless as there was no peace outside.At this, Naqvi said, "This is their own political restlessness. This political restlessness is because people of the country have rejected them and will do so further."On the opposition demand, Deputy Chairman P J Kurien asked as to how the Chair could direct the government to ensure the Prime Minister's presence."It is for the Prime Minister to decide whether to come or not. How can I say," he said.The House saw uproar with heated exchanges between the opposition and treasury benches.Earlier Pramod Tiwari (Cong) raised a point of order saying the Constitution makes the Prime Minister and the Ministers responsible towards the House."We are not asking for something unconstitutional. People are spreading communalism outside and the Prime Minister has also admitted that MPs are crossing 'Lakshman Rekha'. This country is sitting on a powder keg," he said.He was countered by Tarun Vijay (BJP), who said the House was ready for a discussion on 'Vijay Diwas' yesterday noting the contribution of Indian soldiers and honour former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi for her contribution to the 1971 war but the opposition is creating ruckus. "Are they from a different planet? Are they special?" he questioned.Later when Naresh Agarwal asked for status of his notice on the issue of rising incidents of communal violence, Ansari said it was infructuous as the debate has already been listed."You take care of your side, let government take care of its side," Ansari said as opposition kept asking if the Prime Minister would be present during the debate.
