Lok Sabha proceedings was adjourned till 2 PM, minutes after the lower house assembled again at noon.
Speaker Sumitra Mahajan adjourned the lower house till 2 pm after warning protesting members and suspending some of them for the next four days.
PTI adds:
Speaker Sumitra Mahajan suspended unruly members of the AIADMK and TDP for repeatedly disrupting proceedings in Lok Sabha.
This was the second time the house was adjourned in the day. Earlier, the Lok Sabha was adjourned till noon following ruckus created by MPs from the AIADMK and the TDP over various issues.
Despite 24 members of the AIADMK being suspended on Wednesday by Speaker Sumitra Mahajan for unruly behaviour, seven party members trooped into the Well, holding placards and shouting slogans against construction of a dam across the Cauvery river. They also flung papers in the air. The AIADMK has 37 members in the House.
The TDP members were also in the Well as they sought to raise the issue related to Andhra Pradesh.
A peeved Mahajan warned the protesting members and asked them to go back to their seats. "This is not fair... I will have to name you," she said. Together, there were more than 15 members from both the parties in the Well.
Two questions were taken up during the Question Hour even as the members continued to shout slogans.
Members from the Congress wanted to raise the Sabarimala issue and Mahajan told them that the matter can be raised later.
