TMC @AITCofficial flagging this for a while. Persistence pays! This (non) Session will run its course till April 6, but govt MPs themselves disrupting Parliament so Oppn can't speak".Lok Sabha was adjourned on Wednesday to meet again on April 3 at 11 am amid sloganeering by the opposition in the Lower House in the ongoing Budget Session of the Parliament.

Today, we have witnessed a new low for our constitutional democracy," the TMC Supremo had earlier said.Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge welcomed TMC's move to participate in the meeting stating that anyone who comes forward to "protect democracy" is welcome."I thank everyone who supported this.
