Uproar in RS over eviction notice to SP member

Eviction notice to Samajwadi Party member Neeraj Shekhar from an official bungalow today created uproar in Rajya Sabha as party members raised the issue accusing the government of vendetta.
Soon after the start of Question House, Jaya Bachchan (SP) raised the issue seeking Chairman Hamid Ansari's protection over the issue, as other party members joined by Congress accused the government of doing so deliberately.
Despite assurances by the Chairman and Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi that the issue will be resolved as per rules, SP and Congress members created ruckus forcing Ansari to adjourn the House for one hour.

The Question House, whose timing has been changed by the Chairman from 11 AM to 12 noon, became a casualty as members refused to allow the House to function and instead wanted the issue to be resolved.
"I need your protection as one of our members, who is a two-term Lok Sabha member and has now come to the Rajya Sabha has been issued eviction notice from his official bungalow. I have been a victim of this, I need your protection...He has lived in this house since 1967," Bachchan said.
She was supported by party colleagues, who accused the government of doing it deliberately out of "vendetta".

Congress members too were on their feet raising similar accommodation problems.

The Chairman said housing issues cannot be discussed in the House as there was a separate Housing Committee for it.
"The matter has been taken note of. Allow the matter to be sorted out. The matter is in the know of the government," he said.
Naqvi tried to assure the agitated SP members saying, "As per Supreme Court directives, the house in question is in the name of someone else and he is not living...I have given the information to the Minister who is looking into it and will do whatever can be done as per rules."

This assurance, however, did not clam down the SP members.
They kept shouting and were joined by Congress, forcing the Chair to adjourn the House till 1 PM.
