 "SP MP Akshay Yadav throws paper towards chair in LS, to face action")
High drama was witnessed in the Lok Sabha on Thursday as Samajwadi Party MP Akshay Yadav tore some papers next to the chair of the Secretary General and flung it across as several members from the Congress, TMC and SP were in the Well raising anti-government slogans.
Media reports said that the Firozabad MP and Ram Gopal Yadav's son is likely to face action for this act.
A visibly upset Speaker Sumitra Mahajan adjourned the House till noon. It was not immediately clear whether the paper torn was picked from the table of the Secretary General.
Soon after the Chair made obituary reference to former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Ram Naresh Yadav and Carnatic exponent M Balamurlikrishnan who died recently, members from Congress, TMC and SP demanded taking up the adjournment motion on demonetisation issue.
"Same demand ... Every day same demand...no no," said Mahajan.
Soon members from Congress, Left parties, SP and TMC rushed into the Well raising slogans as the House took up Question Hour. The ruling party benches in the House were today largely empty.
