Both the Houses of Parliament have been adjourned for the day following DMK and some other opposition MPs protest over the proposed delimitation of Lok Sabha and assembly constituencies. In the Lok Sabha, when the House met after the second adjournment at 2 PM, it was adjourned for the day as DMK MPs were again seen wearing T-shirts in protest of the proposed delimitation. The Presiding Officer objected to the attire of protesting members.  As noisy scenes prevailed, the  House was adjourned for the day.  

Earlier, the House witnessed two adjournments amid opposition MPs protest over proposed delimitation.  The DMK MPs were seen wearing T-shirts in protest of the proposed delimitation. Speaker Om Birla objected to the attire of DMK members and underlined that the House will run as per the rules. He added that some members are undermining the rules and dignity of the House. The Speaker said he would not allow the violation of rules by asking the opposition members not to wear T-shirts with slogans. He also urged them to leave the House. But DMK and some other opposition MPs created noisy scenes.

The Rajya Sabha also witnessed four adjournments over the issue. When the House reassembled after the third adjournment at 2 PM, Deputy Chairman Harivansh adjourned the House for the day amid deadlock over the issue of DMK MPs wearing T-shirts with slogans in the Upper House.
