Deputy Speaker Charnjit Singh Atwal, who was in the chair, called the mover of the first question, but no business could be transacted in the din.

The Treasury benches also shouted at the Opposition benches and demanded that the naxalite violence in Chhattisgarh, in which Maoists killed 55 security personnel in a pre-dawn attack on a police camp at Ranibodli yesterday, be discussed.

Amid the vociferous trading of charges, the chair adjourned the house within five minutes for an hour till 1200 hrs.
