Earlier in the day, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor voiced his disappointment and said that it was a terrible situation which was bad for the country. He said that the government must make an effort and cooperate with the opposition to let the Parliament function.

The onus was on the government to make Parliament function, Tharoor said, adding that they should cooperate with the opposition and find common ground. "Terrible situation. The government must make an effort...We have always had this approach that the onus is on the government to make the Parliament function. They should cooperate with the opposition and find common ground. The opposition has proposed a solution, which is to have a debate on the Constitution. If the government concedes, I am sure the Parliament would function. It is bad for the country, bad for the voters and bad for us. But the government must make some effort instead of putting all the onus on the opposition. In every democracy, there is an agreement on what issues should be discussed. Where is the agreement here?"

Both Houses were adjourned for the day after they reconvened at noon following adjournments since the sessions began at 11 am. (ANI)
