Lok Sabha has been adjourned till tomorrow as the uproar by Opposition MPs over farm laws continued in the House. The Parliament convened today a day after farm laws issue rocked both the Houses. Lok Sabha proceedings were washed out for the second consecutive day on Wednesday after the House was repeatedly adjourned due to protests by opposition members who were demanding a separate discussion on the farm laws issue.
The House reassembled four times but was unable to conduct business as the members of the Congress, DMK, AAP and the SAD trooped into the Well and shouted slogans against the farm laws, ignoring repeated appeals by Speaker Om Birla to maintain order.
Several opposition members entered the Well, protesting against the farm laws.
