The proceedings of the House began under chairmanship of senior BJP MLA Gyan Singh. The Congress members sat at the chamber of the speaker till Question Hour and Mr. Rohani didn’t come out from there. During Zero Hour, Congress members entered in the House and presented a no-confidence motion against Mr. Rohani.
