Hyderabad: The Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned twice on Wednesday amid continuous protests by members of the TRS over farmer issues. This is the third consecutive day that the House was disrupted since the winter session of the Parliament commenced on Monday.

The TRS members raised slogans and displayed placards over farmer issues in the Well of the House during the Question Hour. Speaker Om Birla told the protesting members it was not the right thing to do and emphasised that the Question Hour was important. He urged them to stop, but in vain.

Though the House resumed functioning after 12 noon, the TRS MPs trooped to the Speaker’s podium and disrupted the proceedings, forcing him to adjourn the House again till 2 pm.
