As zero hour began, Speaker Meira Kumar invited Communist Party of India (CPI) leader Gurdas Das Gupta.

However, Akali Dal members, who, during question hour, protested the Haryana government's move to set up a separate SGPC and disrupted proceedings, requested the speaker to allow them to raise the issue.

The speaker, however, did not yield. Referring to the disruptions by the Akali Dal members during question hour, she said: 'We can't run the house like this.'

Finally, Advani requested the speaker to let Ajnala raise the matter.

'Because the leader of the opposition requested, you will be given three minutes,' she said.
