NEW DELHI: The Lok Sabha was adjourned till 2 pm on Tuesday as opposition members intensified their protests, seeking to raise certain issues before the discussion on the Union Budget starts.
As soon as the House reassembled at 12 noon after the first adjournment, papers and standing committee reports were tabled by ministers and members amid sloganeering by the opposition.
P C Mohan, who was presiding over the proceedings, tried to pacify the opposition members, but in vain.
Iqra Choudhary of the Samajwadi Party (SP) asked a question, but the reply of the minister concerned was drowned in the din.
The House witnessed ruckus as Congress members stormed into the Well, while SP, Trinamool Congress and other opposition MPs stood near their seats and in the aisle in support.
