The second half of the Budget Session will be convened on the 5th of March. On Friday, the first adjournment took place just minutes after the House met.

The parties are demanding justice for the State of Andhra Pradesh after the bifurcation.
The members continued to protest forcing Mahajan to adjourn the House till noon. Once the members gathered again at 12 P.M., the members still continued to shout slogans. To add fuel to fire the Congress party joined the protest to question the Rafale deal.
