Both Houses condole deaths of ex-members, adjourn for day

Both Houses of Parliament were on Monday adjourned for the day after condoling the deaths of former members during the inter-session period.

Members stood in silence for a minute before Rajya Sabha Chairman Krishan Kant and Lok Sabha Speaker G M C Balayogi adjourned the Houses.

Copies of President K R Narayanan's address to the joint session of Parliament, marking the beginning of the three-month-long budget session, were tabled in both Houses.

AIADMK member V Maitreyan took oath as a Rajya Sabha member on the opening day.

Before adjourning for the day, the two Houses mourned the deaths of former members Uttam Rao Laxmanrao Patil, S D Somasundaram, Bhola Manjhi, Suseela Gopalan, K T K Tangamani, Pramila Dandavate, Bhagu Nandu Malvia and Shiv Prasad Sahu (all Lok Sabha), Kailashpati, Jagbir Singh, Trilochan Dutta and Jagdish Joshi (all Rajya Sabha).
