Narendra Modi to come to the House as opposition leaders pressed for a statement by Narendra Modi on the Manipur issue.
Opposition leaders, who have been demanding a discussion on the ethnic violence in Manipur under Rule 267 of Rajya Sabha, later staged a walkout in protest.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar on Wednesday categorically said he cannot issue a directive to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to come to the House as opposition leaders pressed for a statement by Narendra Modi on the Manipur issue.
Rule 267 allows for suspension of the listed business for the day to discuss an issue suggested by a member.
Earlier, soon after the listed papers were tabled, Dhankhar said he had received 58 notices under Rule 267 demanding a discussion on the unrest in Manipur.
He, however, did not accept the notices saying they were not in order.
