Despite Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's statement that the report regarding observance of Good Governance Day, "is factually false", almost entire Opposition, including Congress, JD-U, Left parties and TMC, kept raising the issue.

Congress Deputy Leader Anand Sharma said he has given a notice under rule 267 for suspension of business to discuss the forced conversions being carried out by RSS affiliates.

Yechury said his party and others have also given notice to suspend business as "there is no further business which is important to us."
