THE proceedings of the Lok Sabha were adjourned twice after a row over Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra's reference to the death of judge BH Loya "long before his time".
As the Treasury benches erupted in protest, Union minister Kiren Rijiju accused Moitra of raising a matter settled by the Supreme Court, and warned of "appropriate parliamentary action".
Participating in the debate on 75 years of the Indian Constitution, Moitra made a passing remark on Loya's death as she attacked the ruling BJP for allegedly targeting institutions and Opposition leaders to silence critical voices.
The House was adjourned briefly twice due to the uproar over the matter.
