New Delhi: The Lower House of the Parliament has been adjourned till 2 pm on Wednesday, August 3,  amid a ruckus created by the Opposition parties over the "misuse" of central agencies and other issues.

The Energy Conservation (Amendment) Bill, 2022, was introduced in the Lower House just before the session ended.

Manickam Tagore and K Suresh, both members of the Congress, had earlier presented notices of adjournment in the Lok Sabha, calling for a discussion over recent searches conducted by the Enforcement Directorate at the National Herald offices. 

Chairman Venkaiah Naidu of the Rajya Sabha disallowed a debate over the "misuse" of federal agencies. Senior Congressman and opposition leader M. Mallikarjun Kharge, Deepender Singh Hooda, Priyanka Chaturvedi, Sanjay Singh, and Raghav Chadha of the AAP all submitted notices in accordance with rule 267 but were not admitted. "You are aware of my stance. All of these notices are worthless for consideration under 267, "Naidu said.

In accordance with Rule 267, the discussion of the matter presented in such a notification may be conducted after the day's business has been completed. 

On July 18, the Monsoon Session began, and it will end on August 12.
