Such actions were taking the House to a new low, he said. “There are two ways to deal with this. Allow the House to become a bazaar or take action (against those not following decorum),” Naidu said.

“I feel sorry to say this from the podium…I never expected my members to go that level.” Naidu said protesting, walking out and opposing the government were part of the proceedings, but the dignity and traditions of the House have to be followed.

He warned the members that patience has its limit, and no one should “exhaust the patience of the House.”

The Opposition continued to protest over the snooping and the three farm laws, leading to two adjournments in the pre-lunch session. Several members trooped into the Well of the House with placards and raised slogans against the government. The ongoing monsoon session of Parliament began on July 19. Some bills have been passed without any discussion.
