For the fifth day yesterday, Parliament could not transact any substantial business due to uproar on demonetisation issue as both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha witnessed repeated adjournments amid allegations and counter-allegations by the members of opposition and treasury benches. <br/><br/>Earlier, Anand Sharma of the Congress alleged that the government has created financial anarchy in the country by demonetisation. <br/><br/>Sharad Yadav of JD(U) reiterated his demand for payment of compensation to the kith and kin of those who reportedly died of trauma while queuing outside banks and ATMs. <br/><br/>BSP chief Mayawati said, the situation in the country is grim and the absence of Prime Minister in the House is an insult. <br/><br/>Sitaram Yechury of CPIM said the government is answerable to the House and Parliament is answerable to the people. <br/><br/>Sukhendu Sekhar Roy of Trinamool Congress demanded that Prime Minister should come to the House. Meanwhile, some of the BJP members shouted slogans seeking resumption of discussion on demonetisation.
