Both houses of Parliament were adjourned for the day day soon after Finance Minister Arun Jaitley tabled a copy of the Union Budget for 2017-18
The Lok Sabha will meet again at 11 am on Friday. Speaker Sumitra Mahajan had earlier announced that the House will remain adjourned on Thursday as a mark of respect to sitting parliamentarian and former Union Minister E. Ahamed who died on Wednesday.
After Jaitley finished his Budget speech and moved the Finance Bill for passage of the House in Lok Sabha, the treasury benches lauded it with thumping of their desks.
