The Lok Sabha witnessed a furore on Thursday when some Janata Dal member rushed to
the well of the House protesting against the Chair's directive to Mr Sharad Yadav
to resume his seat.
Uproarious scenes erupted during Zero Hour, when Mr Ram Singh, who was in the
Chair, requested Mr Yadav to take his seat as he had made his point clear, Mr
Yadav was supporting Congress chief whip Santosh Mohan Dev's plea that a solution
must be found for the out-of-turn allottee of government houses who were virtually
on the streets. This infuriated that the Chair could not treat their leader in
this way.
"You cannot hold the House to ransom in this manner. The House cannot be allowed
to proceed in this way," Mr Ram Singh repeatedly said. Mr Yadav had a heated
argument with Mr Ram Singh who said that he would go strictly according to the
list of member given by the Speaker.
