[1]The Rajya Sabha took up debate on a bill on Prasar Bharati on Thursday afternoon, resuming work after facing two adjournments in the morning.
The Prasar Bharati (Broadcasting Corporation of India) Amendment Bill, 2010, follows the Prasar Bharati act of 1990, which defines its composition, functions and powers and allows the central government to transfer officers and employees serving in Akashvani and Doordarshan to Prasar Bharati on certain conditions.
The upper house saw two adjournments Thursday morning amidst opposition demand to remove Home Minister P. Chidambaram, alleging his involvement in the 2G spectrum scam. The question hour was disrupted half way, forcing an adjournment till 12 noon.
At 12 noon, the house was adjourned again till 2 p.m. over similar protest. The Lok Sabha too saw similar protests.
