Soon after laying of listed papers in the morning session, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said he had received 17 notices for adjournment of scheduled business under Rule 267 of the House.The Chairman said he was rejecting all the notices.This led to a protest by several opposition MPs who began raising slogans.Expressing anguish, Dhankhar said, “I call upon you (MPs) for deep reflection. Rule 267 is being weaponised as a mechanism of disruption”.The remark was protested by opposition MPs including those belonging to the Congress.Before adjourning the proceedings for the day, he said similar issues had been raised repeatedly, leading to a loss of three working days.Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till noon on Friday following vociferous protests by Opposition members over the Adani controversy and the recent violence in Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh.Later, the Lower House was also adjourned for the day.
