New Delhi, February 13 The Lok Sabha session was adjourned until noon on Friday after opposition members raised slogans demanding the resignation of Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri.
The opposition members were also protesting against the India-US interim trade agreement.
As soon as the House convened, opposition members rushed to the well holding placards demanding Puri's resignation after his name allegedly appeared in the 'Epstein files' released in the US.
Puri had on Wednesday slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for "making insinuations" against him, asserting that he had met Jeffrey Epstein on "a few occasions" but his interactions with him had nothing to do with the crimes the convicted American sex offender was involved in.
The House also observed a minute of silence to pay respect to former Haridwar MP Bhagwandas Rathore, who passed away recently.
