Earlier, BJP members protested outside the assembly carrying chains and locks expressing their angst against the closure of institutions.

Soon after the session resumed for the day in the morning, the opposition members started raising slogans before the start of the  question hour.

Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania started the question amid ruckus and sloganeering.

Jai Ram Thakur expressing dissatisfaction with the reply of the Chief Minister on the issue of denotifying the institutions on Wednesday said that the reply did not carry weight and was not logical.

As the speaker did not grant them permission to speak on the issue all the 26 BJP MLAs walked out of the house.
