You have not come here to raise slogans. The House will function as per the rules and regulations,” he said, urging members to maintain decorum.

Speaker Birla further noted the persistent disorder in the House and, after repeated warnings, announced, “You don’t want the House to function. The House is adjourned till 12 noon.”
