New Delhi, March 20: The notices for no-confidence motion against the government could not be taken up in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday due to noisy protests by several parties, which washed out the proceedings in both Houses of Parliament. Following ruckus over EAM Sushma Swaraj statement on death of 39 Indians in Iraq's Mosul, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan on Tuesday adjourned the House till Wednesday. Today was the 12th consecutive day that the proceedings of the House were washed out due to this and the Speaker could not take up the notices for no-confidence motion.

“The country has never seen such a sorry state, this is not proper. You are insensitive for your own people”, Mahajan said while she adjourned the house. The speaker said, since the House is not in order, no-confidence motion cannot be moved. The notices for no-confidence motion against the government could not be taken up in the Lok Sabha due to noisy protests by several parties.

Loud slogans raised by opposition as EAM Sushma Swaraj seeks permission from Lok Sabha Speaker to deliver statement on death of 39 Indians in Iraq's Mosul, says, 'It is something sad that I want to tell the house and it cannot be done in this ruckus.' To this, Mahajan said, “This is not proper, do not be so insensitive, please do not indulge in such politics”.

Meanwhile, Former Lok Sabha secretary general P D T Acharya said a no-confidence motion is not admitted like other motions. "It is a special motion and the Speaker merely informs the members of the notice. If the motion is in order (the documentation is as per rules), she can go ahead," he told PTI.

To recall, the notices for the motion have been given by YSR Congress member Y V Subba Reddy and two members of the TDP -- Thota Narasimham and Jayadev Galla. Both parties have been demanding special package for Andhra Pradesh, an issue on which the TDP quit the ruling NDA alliance last week

On Monday, the House was adjourned amid ruckus by Opposition parties and leaders were seen shouting slogans. As soon as the House met for Zero Hour after the Question Hour was washed out, members from TRS and AIADMK trooped into the Well carrying placards. While the TRS was demanding a rise in quota, the AIADMK was pressing for immediate setting up of the Cauvery river management board.
