The Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the eighth time till 4 pm on Tuesday amid continuous protests by Opposition members over the Pegasus snooping row and farm laws.
After the House reassembled at 3.30 pm, Bhartruhari Mahtab, who was in the Chair, took up matters of urgent public importance. He asked the members to raise their issues in the House. A few members did speak amid the protests. Mahtab repeatedly requested the protesting members to go back to their seats. "I am requesting you all to go back to your seats," he said.

As the proceedings began at 11 am, the Opposition members trooped into the Well shouting slogans and carrying banners.
