The Lok Sabha was adjourned twice on Tuesday after Opposition members staged a strong protest over regular hike in fuel prices and other issues.
Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and DMK’s T.R. Baalu demanded a discussion on the hike in fuel prices as soon as the House assembled at 11 a.m., arguing that fuel prices were raised 13 times in the last two weeks.
As Speaker Om Birla continued with the Question Hour, members of the Congress, the DMK, the Trinamool Congress and the Left parties trooped into the well of the House and raised slogans against the Narendra Modi government. Members of the NCP and the Shiv Sena too joined in the protests.
