A day after 14 Opposition members were suspended for disrupting proceedings, both the Houses were adjourned till Monday as protests rocked Parliament over the issue of security breach. While the Lok Sabha barely functioned for a couple of minutes on Friday, the Rajya Sabha too did not take up any business other than customary laying of papers. Both the Houses did not take up the question hour, zero hour and the private members’ businesses on Friday over the issue of security breach in the Lok Sabha. The Opposition members, who had moved notices to take up the matter as adjournment motions, continued their protests as Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla rejected the notices.

When the Lok Sabha met at 11 a.m., the proceedings were chaired by Rajender Agarwal instead of Mr. Om Birla. Almost immediately, Opposition members trooped into the well of the House, carrying placards and raising slogans against the government to demand a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah over the security breach.
