The House could barely take up two questions during Question Hour and Speaker Om Birla had to adjourn proceedings till 12 noon. Opposition protests continued when the House reconvened. Some ministers laid papers and statements amid noisy protests.

Dilip Saikia, who was presiding the House, urged the opposition to play a constructive role. When his appeals failed, he adjourned the House for the day. The House will now meet on Monday morning.
