Speaker Om Birla initiated Question Hour proceedings as soon as the Lower House began its proceedings.
However, after around 15 minutes, amid sustained protests by the Opposition members, who trooped into the well of the House shouting slogans and showing placards, he adjourned the House till 2 p.m.
Earlier, the Speaker had welcomed a Parliamentary delegation from Malawi, which is in India on a five-day visit.
