Soon after the Question Hour, Speaker Dr Sitasharan Sharma rejected the Breach of Privilege motion moved by Congress legislator Ram Niwas Rawat against Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
Sharma rejected it on the ground that no case of violating any privilege can be made against Chouhan on the issue of publication of a booklet, 'Vyapam ka Sach' (MPPEB's Truth), by the BJP.
The Speaker said that Congress has raised the use of MPPEB's monogram on each page, publication of Assembly's notesheet in it and also raised the issue against Chouhan in the motion.
Following this, Rawat along with other Congress members rushed to the well of the House raising slogans against Chouhan and the Speaker.
In the din, nothing could be heard and the Speaker transacted the listed business. When the Congress members did not heed the Chair's request to return to their seats, the Speaker adjourned the House for 15 minutes.
After that the Speaker took up the state budget and the Appropriation Bill listed in the supplementary list and the House passed it also amid pandemonium without any discussion.
