New Delhi: The Vice President and Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar has removed an extra 30-minute break given for Namaz on Fridays in Rajya Sabha.
Dhankhar, has gone ahead and removed extra 30-minute break given for Namaz on Fridays in Rajya Sabha and has changed rules.
Explaining the position, Dhankar said that parliament has members from all communities, and there can’t be a specific exception for Muslim parliamentarians only. The house chairman said that the Friday timing has been changed to match it with Lok Sabha.
Notably, there is no ‘namaz’ break on Fridays in Lok Sabha and this practice was in the Rajya Sabha only.
“Lok Sabha sits at 2 PM. Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, being integral part of Parliament, need to adhere to the same time to the extent possible and, therefore, it was 2 PM on an earlier occasion as directed by me. So, this is not a beginning today”, he said.
