Akalis force LS adjournment

He also made a remark about the Congress, which was expunged from the record by Deputy Speaker Charanjit Singh Atwal following an objection by Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ghulam Nabi Azad.

When some Congress members also started speaking simultaneously, the Akalis walked into the well shouting, ‘‘Sikhan de katil murdabad.’’ The BJP members lent their lung-power from their seats to their Akali allies, though one of them, Avinash Khanna, belonging to Punjab, joined the Akalis in the well. Atwal adjourned the House for 45 minutes.

After proceedings were resumed, the House functioned normally as the Akalis failed to show up.
