Parliament budget session live: Lok Sabha adjourned till 11 am tomorrow amid ruckus

Lok Sabha LoP and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi says, "The agreement is that we'll be allowed to say these points, and then the discussion should happen. So we are quite keen that the discussion happens. We want oh the discussion to happen, but now let us see what the government says. My personal view is that the government is scared to have a debate. The Prime Minister didn't come into the House because he was scared of what we were going to say. He was scared of being handed General Naravane's book as a first step. My guess is that the government is worried about having a debate on the budget because the issue of the US deal, the way it was done, what has happened, the impact on our farmers is going to be discussed, and the government doesn't want to do that..."
