Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla asked the DMK members to change their clothes. He said such actions were against the rules of procedure of the House.
“However big a leader is, such undignified attire is not acceptable inside the House. Go outside, change your clothes, and come back with a proper dress,” Birla told the members citing parliamentary rules and adjourned the House till 12 noon.
DMK members were wearing white T-shirts with slogans ‘fair delimitation Tamil Nadu will fight, Tamil Nadu will win’ written on them.

As soon as the House assembled, Birla adjourned the proceedings till noon. “House functions with rules and procedures. Members have to maintain the dignity and honour of the House. But some MPs are not following the rules and violating dignity which is not acceptable,” Birla said.
However, these MPs did not change their T-shirts and the House was adjourned soon after it reconvened at 12 noon. TDP member Krishna Prasad Tenneti, who was in the chair, adjourned the proceedings till 2 pm. He said the behaviour of members was unacceptable.
