Anguished over the National Democratic Alliance-sponsored uproar in the Lok Sabha over the filing of a second affidavit in the Kargil purchase case in the Supreme Court, Speaker Somnath Chatterjee today said he would not adjourn the House from tomorrow under similar circumstances, "come what may".

Calling it a day amidst slogan-shouting by Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA members in the well of the House, Chatterjee said he was "anguished" over the protest although he was not blaming any particular political party.

He said the Leader of the House, Pranab Mukherjee, had agreed for an immediate discussion on the issue and requested the Opposition members to resume their seats.

As his repeated pleas for restoration of order went unheeded, Chatterjee said he was serving "public notice" that
he would not adjourn the House under such circumstances from tomorrow.
