NDTV
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla was upset at the repeated disruptions in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday when some members tore papers and threw them at the Chair when the House had taken up legislative business.
As Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla skipped the House proceedings for the second consecutive day today to express displeasure over disruptions, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury reached out to him with a plea to return to the Chair.
As soon as the Lok Sabha convened for the day, Mr Chowdhury described Om Birla as the "custodian" of the House and said the members want him to return to the Chair.
"When the House convenes, we wish to see the Speaker in the Chair. It is our demand that the Speaker return to the Chair. The entire House likes the Speaker," Mr Chowdhury said as BJP leader Rajendra Agarwal presided over the Question Hour.
