The issue was raised by Congress member Madhusudan Mistry as soon as the House met for the day. He alleged that minorities were not safe in BJP-ruled states, evoking sharp protests from Opposition benches.

Verbal duel ensued between Congress and Opposition members and Speaker Somnath Chatterjee adjourned the House till 11.15 am.

Similar scenes were witnessed again when the House met after adjournment.

But normalcy was restored when the Speaker said the matter could be discussed during Zero Hour.
