“Aap house chalne nahi dijiyega to kya karenge,” said speaker Mahto before adjourning the house till 1.45pm.

A few seconds before the house was adjourned, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Alamgir Alam got agitated and requested the speaker to take action.
BJP legislators who had brought adjournment motion, wanted to discuss yesterday’s lathi charge. They got agitated when the speaker turned down their request.
