Rajnath Singh urged the opposition and other political parties to sit with the government and become a part of a healthy debate.
The Parliament remained deadlocked for the ninth consecutive day on Thursday as the opposition parties, NDA constituent Telugu Desam Party and some others stuck to their various demands even as the ruling BJP and main opposition Congress traded charges, accusing each other for the logjam.
Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned for the day on Thursday after Congress, Trinamool Congress, TDP, YSR Congress and AIADMK members trooped near chair’s podium holding placards and raising slogans against the ruling dispensation.

The AIADMK has been demanding set up of a board for the management of the Cauvery river water.
The first week of the resumed Budget Session of Parliament was a complete washout as it failed to transact any business. After washout of the first two days of the second week, the government succeeded in passing the Finance Bill 2018, as well as the Appropriation Bill and demands for grants on Wednesday in Lok Sabha without any debate as the House witnessed continued disruption.
The Lok Sabha on Thursday passed two bills amid din. Minister of State for Labour, Santosh Kumar Gangwar moved The Payment of Gratuity (Amendment) Bill, 2017, which was passed through voice vote in the din. The government then moved The Specific Relief (Amendment) Bill, 2017, which was also passed amid din through voice vote.
