 Parliament proceedings live | Both Houses adjourned for the day

A day after the Congress made large strides in improving its vote bank in the Hindi belt — Assembly elections in three out of five
States favour the Opposition — Parliament reconvened to begin the Winter Session. Both Houses were adjourned in the afternoon
following a series of protests.

The first day of the Winter Session passed uneventfully, with obituary references made for many Members who died recently,
including former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
