New Delhi: In the backdrop of disruptions in Rajya Sabha on various issues, its chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu on Thursday urged members to act responsibly to ensure smooth proceedings and assured them that his decision would be aimed at enhancing the image of the House.
During a meeting with members of various parties on functioning of the House, the Triple Talaq Bill was also discussed and the chairman asked both the opposition and the treasury benches to sort out the issue.
Mr Naidu, the sources said, has waived the time limit for moving a proposed amendment by Congress leader Anand Sharma on the Triple Talaq Bill.
“Whatever decision I take will be guided by the aim to enhance the image of the House,” he told the members, the sources said, adding that he urged the MPs to also follow this principle.
The business advisory committee had fixed a time limit of four hours for the debate on the Bill, but members wanted more time.
