He further said the government was ready to answer all queries. "Not only will we reply to MPs’ questions, through Parliament, we will also like to put forth the government's policies in front of the country's farmers," the Agriculture Minister said.

Speaker Om Birla intervened and told the opposition MPs that sloganeering and placards were not allowed inside the House. He later adjourned the House till 12 noon.

The House could not function on the first day of the session on Monday due to repeated adjournments following Opposition protests over the demand of discussion on Operation Sindoor.
