Om Birla did not arrive at the Speaker's chair in Lok Sabha, loud uproar, proceedings adjourned until 12 noon

The Lok Sabha faced continued disruption, leading to the adjournment of proceedings until 12 noon due to loud protests from opposition members.

The Lok Sabha in India witnessed significant discord on Tuesday, resulting in the adjournment of proceedings until 12 noon. The session began without Speaker Om Birla in attendance, leaving P.C. Mohan in the chair. As soon as question hour commenced, opposition members stormed the well of the House, creating a chaotic environment. The session was unable to proceed even for two minutes before being interrupted by the uproar.

Despite repeated appeals from the presiding officer for members to return to their seats, opposition representatives remained adamant and refused to comply. This atmosphere of disruption underscored the ongoing tensions within the house, indicating a lack of cooperation between the ruling party and opposition. The Speaker's absence further contributed to the lack of order, prompting the presiding officer to take the necessary step of adjourning the session.

This situation in the Lok Sabha not only hinders legislative processes but also reflects broader political strife in India's parliamentary system. Such disturbances have been a recurring theme, showcasing challenges to effective governance and dialogue between rival political factions.
