Both the Houses of Parliament have been adjourned till 2 PM following DMK and some other opposition MPs protest over proposed delimitation of Lok Sabha and assembly constituencies. In the Lok Sabha, when the House met after the first adjournment at Noon, DMK MPs were again seen wearing T-shirts in protest of the proposed delimitation. The Presiding Officer objected to the attire of protesting members. The DMK MPs and some Congress members created noisy scenes leading to the adjournment of the House till 2 PM. In the morning, when the House met for the day, it was adjourned till Noon following Speaker Om Birla’s objection to the attire of DMK MPs who were wearing T-shirts in protest of the proposed delimitation.
