Photo: PTINew Delhi: After over three weeks of continuous logjam in both the Houses of Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stepped in on Wednesday saying disruptions meant retiring Rajya Sabha members will not be present when the House decides on the triple talaq law. Parliament has witnessed repeated disruptions and Wednesday was the 17th consecutive day when proceedings were adjourned in both houses. “It is not necessary that whatever happens in the Green House (Lok Sabha), should happen in the Red House (Rajya Sabha). Interestingly, the word of caution from Prime Minister on repeated disruptions has come at a time when Rajya Sabha chairman and vice-president M. Venkaiah Naidu has decided to review the rules and procedure of Rajya Sabha to minimize disruptions.
