The Lok Sabha, the lower house of Indian parliament, was adjourned within just minutes of meeting today as opposition parties created an uproar over a controversial farm bill.

The bill, which seeks to remove restrictions on the sale of crops, has sparked widespread protests from farmers across the country. The opposition demanded a debate on the bill and protested the passing of the bill without discussion.

The speaker of the house, Om Birla, pleaded with the opposition to let the session proceed, but to no avail. The opposition continued their protests, demanding the bill be withdrawn.

The house was then adjourned for the day, amid chaotic scenes and protests. This recent disruption adds to the ongoing tension in the parliament over the farmers' protests.

Farmers have been protesting in the country's capital, New Delhi, for nearly two months, with many camped outside the iconic Red Fort in Delhi. The protests have become a major challenge to the Indian government and the handling of the protests has become a key issue ahead of crucial state elections.

Only time will tell what consequences these disruptions will have on the government and electoral prospects.
