Amidst the protests, the speaker tried to run the House and allowed two questions related to Direct Benefit Schemes and infrastructure projects in Ladakh to be asked by members during Question Hour.

As the protests intensified, the speaker said the opposition was not listening to him and continuing their protests despite his repeated appeals.

“You are not interested in allowing the House to function smoothly. Your behaviour and activities have lowered the dignity and honour of the House. You have been by systematically obstructing the proceedings. This is not good,” he said.

However, the Opposition ignored the speaker’s pleas forcing him to adjourn the House till 2 pm after about 25 minutes of business.

Barring discussions on Operation Sindoor in both Houses, Parliament has seen little business since the Monsoon session began on 21 July. There have been repeated adjournments initially due to the opposition demand for a discussion on Operation Sindoor and then on the SIR in Bihar.
