Amid the uproar, a Bill to implement amendments to the GST law in Manipur was passed after a brief discussion.

The Bill was introduced earlier in the day by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to replace an ordinance on the issue. The state is under President's rule, hence Parliament is using its powers to pass the legislation.
Before being adjourned for the day around 2.20 pm, the House saw two earlier adjournments during the Question Hour in the morning and later in the afternoon.
The first day of the Winter session, which will have 15 sittings, saw frequent disruptions. Several Opposition members trooped into the Well shouting slogans and protesting over SIR, as they have been demanding a debate on the issue.
