Deputies rushed to the House by ripping off the microphones and tearing Bill. Leaders of parties supporting the law in later met Ansari in his room to apologize for the unruly behavior of the members who were prevented from Bill being taken for consideration in the House of Representatives.

Guards are now in position to stop the disruption and protect the President of the Council of Representatives when it convenes.

UPA government finds itself in an awkward position. To set the table and get the Women Reservation Bill passed in the Rajya Sabha in the International Women’s Day, it now faces the possibility of having to get the budget passed on a slim majority. While they do not need to support Mulayam and Lalu to pass the Women’s Law Project, where the BJP and the left will vote for him, will find themselves on very thin ice on other legislation, such as the Finance Act crucial, without the buffer of 22 deputies and the Samajwadi Party 4 Rashtriya Janata Dal MPs in the Lok Sabha.

Given that the House of Representatives has seen repeated adjournments today, what will happen to the women’s Bill?

Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, who is also the country’s Vice-President, can keep on raising the House of Representatives, which means that the bill may not be put to a vote today. In this case, an all-party meeting will follow.

He said he would ask the disabled to leave after a while, and call them again to vote once in the debate had ended.

Or it can call for a vote without discussion. But the problem then this will be a constitutional amendment without debate invalidate the credibility of the draft law to parliament.

Government sources say they are thinking in the Rajya Sabha, the rule that allows the vote to be held in the lobby of the hotel and not in the actual house. This rule comes into play if there was a lot of turmoil within the home. Then the people in favor of a bill can be taken to the lobby, while the disruption to stay at home.
