Immediately after the obituary references, the Leader of the Opposition Vidya Stokes demanded an inquiry into the "chargesheet" submitted to the President by the state Congress against the BJP government.

The Speaker Tulsi Ram did not allow the issue to be raised and said no notice has been given and proceeded with the business listed for the day.

Soon, Congress members started raising slogans and continued slogan shouting for sometime.

The members of treasury benches also raised counter slogans and Congress members staged a walkout.
