"Do not register a negative impressions in my mind, please be seated and let the Zero Hour function, this is not the way especially on the last day of the session,", Naidu said. But the Opposition Members refused to budge and kept on raising slogans and some of them came into the Well. The Chairman urged all agitating Members to resume their seats and asked BJP lawmaker Sushil Modi to raise his issue but he was not audible. Naidu then asked the Opposition whether they were interested in listening to the concluding remarks of the chair on the second part of the Budget session or not? When several requests for maintaining order went unheeded, chairman Naidu adjourned the House sine die without his concluding remarks. /IANS
