Parliament LIVE: Deadlock over PM Modi's presence in Rajya Sabha, Lok Sabha continues

Deadlock continued in both Houses over the issue of demonetisation as the opposition parties demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's presence in Parliament.

Protests over the prime minister's absence from Parliament also continued in the Lok Sabha. "More than 70 people have died, and more than 1,000 people have been injured. This deadlock can only end when the prime minister comes for discussion in the house," said Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge.

Demonetisation has been the reason for Parliament washouts over ten days now since Winter Session began on 16 November. Interestingly, Parliament has not discussed anything else except note ban imposed by the Narendra Modi government since the Winter Session began.

Even as terrorists infiltrated the International Border and attacked two - Nagrota and Samba - districts of Jammu and Kashmir, there was no talk of that in Parliament. The attack in Nagrota reportedly started around 5.30 am with militants firing at a field regiment camp located in the garrison town of Nagrota near the headquarter's of army's 16 corps in the state.

In Samba, security forces killed two militants early on Tuesday when a group of militants tried to sneak in from Pakistan through the International Border near a border outpost in this Jammu district. According to reports, the two militants were killed following a "heavy firing exchange" with the BSF.
