As soon as the House assembled at 12 noon following an earlier adjournment, opposition members demanded action against those responsible for the NEET paper leak and those behind the alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ram temple.
Amid the uproar, Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal introduced a bill to increase the number of judges of the Supreme Court. The bill replaces an ordinance issued in May to hike the sanctioned strength of the top court from 34 to 38, including the Chief Justice of India.
As the protest continued, Dilip Saikia, who was in the Chair, adjourned the proceeding till 12:30 pm.
Following obituary references, the House earlier took up the Question Hour. However, opposition members started raising slogans.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla urged the members to let the House run and said it would set a bad precedent if the House does not run on the first day of the session. (PTI)
