Upset with repeated disruptions over the Manipur issue, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on August 2 did not attend the proceedings of the House to convey his displeasure to the members.
Sources close to Mr. Birla told The Hindu that the Speaker had conveyed his displeasure to the floor leaders of Opposition parties as well as government managers that he would not attend the proceedings until the members behaved to uphold the dignity of the House.
Several Opposition leaders, including Congress Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and Supriya Sule, called on the Speaker.
