LD ALL WOMEN 4 LAST

The day was marked by repeated adjournment of Rajya
Sabha, which saw little chance of orderly business and voting
on the bill that has been stoutly opposed by parties like SP,
RJD, BSP and sections within JD(U).
An electronic watch kept on the Secretary General's
table was also removed.
Before the Rajya Sabha reassembled at 1500 hours,
marshals were brought into the House and lined up on the two
flanks of the Chairman's table.
P J Kurien, one of the members on the panel of vice-
chairmen, occupied the Chair only to announce adjournment of
the House till 1600 hours. He again adjourned the House till 6
PM when it reassembled.
Significantly, a number of women members of the Lok
Sabha were present in the visitor's gallery of the Rajya Sabha
to witness the proceedings.
They included Deepa Dasmunshi, Girja Vyas, Supriya Sule
and Meenakshi Natarajan. PTI
