Before this, Speaker Om Birla urged all parties to not bring placards inside the House, failing which he will strictly enforce rules.

“I'll request all the parties in the house that placards should not be brought inside the house. If at all placards are brought by MPs, then I'll listen neither to the government nor to the Opposition and will surely take action. I'm giving last chance to them,” Birla said.
