Opposition members, led by Congress president Sonia Gandhi, forced a 20-minute adjournment in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday to register their protest against the rise in the prices of petrol, diesel and LPG.
Ms. Gandhi not only marshalled her party colleagues but was also proactively engaged with other Opposition members, asking them to refrain from participating in the Question Hour. She was seen giving instructions to leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and other party members who were protesting in the well of the House.
