Lok Sabha marred by adjournments

The Lok Sabha session on Tuesday was marred by adjournments. When the proceedings resumed at 2 pm, LoP Rahul Gandhi said he would not mention any article about former army chief Gen MM Naravane's memoirs.

However, the Congress MP said he would make comments regarding the India-China standoff at Kailash Range, following which the Chair asked Rahul to resume his speech on the Motion of Thanks to the President's Address and follow the ruling given before, according to ANI.

After Rahul insisted on making the remarks, the Chair asked other members to speak on the motion, which led to an uproar from the Congress and opposition members.

This intensified as a member of the TDP started making his speech, with some Opposition members seen throwing papers. The House was then adjourned till 3 pm, and eight Opposition members were suspended after proceedings resumed. The House passed the resolution to suspend them by a voice vote, following which the session was adjourned for the day.
