The issue of reconstitution of various commissions dealing with Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Minorities and Backward Classes rocked the proceedings in the Rajya Sabha in the pre-lunch session today. The House witnessed four brief adjournments on the issue and was adjourned till 2 PM. This is for the second day that the issue was raised in the House. <br/><br/>Congress-led opposition trooped into the well raising slogans as soon as the House met for the day. Responding to this, Information and Broadcasting Minister Venkaiah Naidu said, the government is in the process of reconstituting the commissions. He said, the opposition wants to mislead the country on the issue. He said, these commissions are functioning and the process to fill up vacancies is on. Mr. Naidu said, the opposition is not ready to hear the truth. He said, the country has given a clear mandate to the ruling party and backward classes have supported the NDA in recently held elections in Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal. <br/><br/><br/>Earlier opposition members including Ram Gopal Yadav of SP, Mayawati of BSP and Sharad Yadav of the JD-U alleged that senior posts in these commissions are vacant and people are not getting relief from them. They wanted to know from the government that when these vacancies will be filled up. Mr. Ram Gopal Yadav alleged that the government wants to delete names of some castes from the OBC lists.<br/> <br/>The situation was no different when the House re-assembled at 1230 hrs to take up Question Hour. Again, the Congress-led opposition members trooped into the well raising slogans. Some ruling party members also raised counter slogans from their seats. Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, the government is ready to clarify the doubts of the opposition members. He said, the delay in appointments in these Commissions occurred due to Assembly elections in five states. As noisy scenes continued, Chairman Mohammed Hamid Ansari adjourned the House till 2 PM.
