Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 12 noon on Monday amid noisy protest by the Opposition, which is seeking a response from the government on police action on protesting students and alleged theft of Ram temple donations.

N K Premachandran of the RSP, who was chairing the House, adjourned the proceedings within seconds of the House meeting for the day, while the first question during the Question Hour was taken up.

Speaker Om Birla, who usually presides over the Question Hour, did not chair the House on Monday morning.

Sources said Birla is engaged in back channel parleys with various parties to ensure smooth functioning of the House in the remaining period of the Monsoon Session which is slated to end on August 13.

Lok Sabha proceedings have witnessed repeated disruptions all throughout the Monsoon Session with six out of eight bills being passed by the House without a debate. Monday was the 16th day when the House could not complete the Question Hour, which is held between 11 am and 12 noon.
