New Delhi, Dec 7 (IBNS) : The issue of demonetisation continued to cripple Parliament since the beginning of the Winter Session on November 16 as both Houses witnessed multiple adjournments on Wednesday in a repeat of happenings on every single day.

Both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha witnessed adjournment till 12 pm and then the Upper House was again adjourned till 2 pm amid uproar and acrimony.

 Before the beginning of day 16 of  Parliament, the Opposition party leaders reportedly met to discuss demonetisation.
