As the House assembled for the day, Congress members, led by Leader of Opposition Ajay Singh, said that they are ready for the discussion on the issue only after the resignation of Home Minister.
Following this, they reached the well of the House raising slogans in chorus that Gupta must resign on the issue during the Question Hour.
After five minutes, Speaker Ishwardas Rohani adjourned the House till 11 AM when the Opposition did not heed to his plea of returning to their seats.
He even brought a large piece of hail from the fields to the House to highlight the plight of the farmers.
The Speaker then adjourned the House till 11.30 AM.

Amid uproarious scenes, the Speaker transacted the listed business and also passed 12 bills with a voice vote without any discussion.
