Soon after, the opposition, led by Congress and TMC, trooped near the Speaker’s podium demanding discussion over demonetisation as Speaker Sumitra Mahajan tried to conduct the Question Hour despite the din. The opposition members continued with their tirade against the government forcing Mahajan to adjourn the House till noon. When the House reassembled, Mahajan disallowed all notices of adjournment motion on different issues.
Congress party leader Mallikarjun Kharge, supported by Bandopadhyay, demanded discussion under any rule which entails voting. To this, Parliamentary Affairs Minister H.N.
