The Opposition continues to raise the issue of fuel price hike in both the House of Parliament in the ongoing Budget Session. The opposition MPs created a ruckus in the House yesterday leading to multiple adjournments.

The second part of the Budget Session is likely to be curtailed and conclude before Holi in the view of Assembly elections in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala and Puducherry. Senior leaders across the parties would be focussing on the campaign, giving the session a miss.

The two Houses will resume their normal timing of 11 am onwards from Tuesday. While Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla made an announcement about the resumption of normal timings in the House, a similar announcement was made by the Chair in Rajya Sabha earlier in the day.

Here's how the day unfolded in Parliament:
