On Tuesday, the house was adjourned on four occasions--three times in the pre-lunch period and after lunch-- but today the speaker Sriniwas Tiwari adjourned the house within minutes after the sitting began.

The speaker said the leader of the house and the leader of opposition should come to his chamber at 11 am to find out ways and means to come out of the present deadlock but this was not accepted by the BJP.

Leader of Opposition Dr G S Shejwar said his party could not allow any proceeding to take place in the house unless legislators were given guarantee for their security.

Shejwar said on an earlier occasion, the privileges committee hadrecommended censure of Sudarshan Kumar, an IPS officer, but this was not done and instead he had been promoted.

When the speaker asked Shejwar if the BJP would allow the house proceedings to take place, he replied ``you should not talk to me but to the house''.

Following this, the speaker adjourned the house for the day without transacting any business.

Shejwar later told reporters that the BJP would continue stalling proceedings of the Assembly till the former Khandwa SP was suspended and a criminal case registered against him.
