New Delhi: Speaker Somnath Chatterjee adjourned the Lok Sabha until noon on Thursday after accusing MPs disrupting the proceedings of “working overtime to finish democracy in this country.”
“You are all working overtime to finish democracy in this country. It is a matter of great sorrow,” a visibly disgusted Chatterjee said after opposition MPs gathered near his podium shouting slogans. “With great sorrow ... I am forced to adjourn the house. Let the country decide what is to be done,” he added.
Finance Minister P. Chidambaram is scheduled to table the Economic Survey 2007-08 in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
