The list of business for the thirteenth day of second leg of Budget session is packed with a bunch of Bills and a discussion on fraud in public national banks. The Lok Sabha may take up the no-confidence motion moved by Telugu Desam and YSR Congress parties. But everything depends if members allow the Houses to function.
Here are the live updates
Lok Sabha proceedings begins. Even as the Speaker Sumitra Mahajan rises to greet the House, members raise slogans. She proceeds with Question Hour but both question and answer are barely audible.
Speaker adjourns the House for an hour.
In Rajya Sabha, ministers laid papers pertaining to their ministry. All looks well, but not for long.
As Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu proceeds with Zero Hour, sloganeering begins. Members troop into the Well. As Mr. Naidu's efforts to pursue members to go back to the seats go in vain, he adjourns the House for the day.
