- Rule 267 of the Rajya Sabha rulebook has become a bone of contention in the Upper House.
- It was because, not a single notice under the rule moved by the Opposition has been accepted in the Winter Session.
- The Rule 267 of the Rajya Sabha rulebook gives special power to a Rajya Sabha member to suspend the pre-decided agenda of the House, with the approval of the Chairman.
- No other form of discussion entails suspension of other business.
- If an issue is admitted under Rule 267, it signifies it’s the most important national issue of the day.
- Also, the government will have to respond to the matter by replying during the discussions under Rule 267.
- The last instance was in 2016 when then Chairman Hamid Ansari allowed for a debate on the “demonetisation of currency”.
