New Delhi: The Question Hour in the Lok Sabha was cut short on Monday as MPs who had given notice to ask questions were not present in the House.
Speaker Meira Kumar invited members to ask questions but the house could take up only two questions related to defence and rural development due to the absence of the members who were to ask questions.
She continued with the procedure of the Question Hour amid protests by Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and Samajwadi Party (SP) members for sending a central team to asses the law and order situation in West Bengal.
Raising slogans against the Central Government for sending the team, CPI-M and SP members marched up to the speaker's podium. The BSP also supported the demand.
After completing the procedure of the question hour, the speaker adjourned the house at 1130 hrs IST for half an hour.
