Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan appealed to the opposition members to go back to their seats so that the House can take up questions related to farmers during the designated time of Question Hour.
“This day belongs to the farmers. Please allow the House to function so that we can discuss the issues related to poor, farmers and the village,” he said.
Speaker Om Birla intervened and told the opposition MPs that sloganeering and showing placards are not allowed inside the House.
“You don’t want the House to run. You don’t want discussion on farmers issues. I can’t allow sloganeering. You can’t bring placards inside the House,” he said.
As the opposition members continued the protests, Birla adjourned the House till 12 noon.
The House could not function on the first day of the Monsoon session on Monday due to repeated adjournments following opposition protests over the demand of discussion on Operation Sindoor.
Under Operation Sindoor, armed forces attacked Pakistani terror sites and defence installations for three days beginning May 7 following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22 in which 26 people were killed. PTI ACB DV DV
