New Delhi, April 2 Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Thursday demanded that the government clarify in the Rajya Sabha whether the House will be adjourned to a later date or sine die, amid what he called unhealthy media speculation.
Following the laying of documents in the Upper House, Ramesh sought an explanation from Leader of the House J P Nadda and the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs.
"Will the House be adjourned until a later date, or will it be adjourned sine die? This uncertainty and media speculation is not healthy for the functioning of our democracy," Ramesh said.
He further questioned the secrecy surrounding the House's schedule.
"Please, I would seek clarification. What is the intention? To adjourn this today, meet again tomorrow or meet at a later date or adjourn sine die? Why so much secrecy regarding the fate of the Rajya Sabha? Forget the Lok Sabha, at least in the Rajya Sabha, let us have some clarity," he said.
Responding to Ramesh's query, Nadda said, "Sir, the government will get back to you."
