Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till Friday noon as Opposition members raised slogans against police crackdown on students agitating against NEET paper leak and other matters.

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said the Opposition members disrupted the House proceedings in a "pre-planned manner."

"Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is standing to ask a question, but Opposition members are not allowing Question Hour to proceed," he said.

In an apparent reference to suspended TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee, he said some members were roaming in the Parliament House complex in different getups.

Birla said such actions lower the dignity of the house. He then adjourned the proceedings till noon.
