But the chief minister got up to say that he did not say anything objectionable in his speech, further infuriating the Congress members. They rushed to the well of the house and raised slogans. The BJP members also joined in to raise slogans.

Sensing trouble, the speaker adjourned the session for lunch.

After the lunch, the speaker told the treasury and opposition benches that all those remarks which have been made without the permission of the chair would be expunged from the proceedings of the house.

Dhumal later clarified that he had respect for all members of the house and had repeatedly referred to the Congress legislators as respectable members of the house.
