The Lok Sabha was adjourned till 2 pm today after an uproar by Opposition members over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.
As soon as the House met for the day, Speaker Om Birla called for the question hour. Opposition members immediately started shouting slogans and trooped into the well of the House.
The Speaker asked the agitating members to let the House proceedings continue.
“You do not want the question hour to proceed?” the Speaker asked.
He said that deliberately creating disruptions in the House was not appropriate. The House is meant for discussion and dialogue. “If you bring placards into the House, then the proceedings cannot continue,” he added.
He reminded the members that millions of people who have elected them were watching the live proceedings. “Please correct your conduct and behaviour,” he said.
Despite his repeated appeals, the uproar continued, and the Speaker adjourned the House till 2 pm.
