The CA meet that was put off for 30 minutes earlier in the day resumed only at around 8:30 in the evening.
However, the lawmakers from the opposition parties stood from their chairs and rushed towards the rostrum and began chanting slogans.
The opposition lawmakers continued to the chant the slogans until the CA chairman deferred the meeting.
Meanwhile, the meeting of four major political forces held prior to
the CA meeting ended inconclusively after the parties stuck to their respective guns.
