Parliament adjourned for the day
in memory of Devi Lal

Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned for the day on Monday without transacting any business as a mark of respect to former deputy prime minister Devi Lal who died in Delhi on April six after a protracted illness.

In the Lok Sabha, Speaker G M C Balayogi recalled the contribution of Devi Lal for farmers' cause and his role in the freedom struggle.

In the Rajya Sabha, of which Devi Lal was a sitting member, Chairman Krishan Kant described him as a veteran freedom fighter, able administrator and a champion of the downtrodden and farmers.

Members in both Houses observed a minute's silence in memory of the departed leader before adjourning for the day.
