Despite attempts by the Speaker to move the session forward, opposition members continued their obstruction, leading to heightened tension inside the chamber.
According to reports, some lawmakers even attempted to approach the Speaker’s seat, further intensifying the situation.
The House remained stalled as political disputes over parliamentary procedure deepened, with no immediate agreement reached between ruling and opposition parties.
