New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till noon on Friday following strong Opposition protests, particularly by Congress members who came to the House dressed in black to voice their protests against the Enforcement Directorate on their leaders.
As soon as the house met at 11 am, Speaker Om Birla made obituary references to former MP Bhim Prasad Dahal. He also marked the 77th anniversary of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 and those who lost their lives in the two Japanese cities. After that, the Speaker started the business of the House by taking questions related to different ministries. At this point, Congress members came to the well of the house to stage their protests.
Congress MPs were wearing black clothes. Rahul Gandhi was in black shirt and trousers and party chief Sonia Gandhi was in black too. NCP and DMK members supported the Congress by standing in their respective seats.
With the sloganeering getting louder, Birla appealed to the Opposition members to go back to their seats saying their behaviour is not proper as the whole country is watching them.
Opposition members ignored his pleas and Birla soon declared the house adjourned till noon. PTI JTR ACB MIN MIN
