M Venkaiah Naidu addressing the Rajya Sabha" Discussion on commitment of the government to India's Constitution.

The Upper House is still debating the Constitution, while the Question Hour is on in the Lower House.

The BJP-led NDA government will face a tough week in Parliament beginning today with Opposition parties giving a number of notices in both Houses seeking a debate on 'intolerance' in society and action against some ministers for their alleged provocative remarks.


Congress and JD-U have given notices in Rajya Sabha to discuss the issue after suspension of business under Rule 267, while in Lok Sabha Congress and CPI-M have submitted notices for a debate under rule 193, which does not entail voting or require suspension of business.


BJP MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy has said that the Opposition wants a debate on intolerance and the govt has admitted it  and is ready to take it up in Parliament as soon as the Speaker decides to do it: Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan says there is no need to suspend Question Hour to discuss issues of price rise, intolerance. The Congress also demands a discussion on price rise in Parliament and moves an adjournment motion.
