As per reports, O'Brien as part of his protest against the Farm Bills entered the well of the house and aggressively snatched the rule-book placed in front of the speaker. He then reportedly attempted to tear it.
The Rajya Sabha was adjourned following the uproar.
O'Brien though did not apologise for his behaviour and subsequently attacked the centre for 'breaking every rule of the parliament'.
"They have broken every rule of the Parliament. It was a historic day, in the worst sense of the word. They cut RSTV feed so the country couldn't see. They censored RSTV", O'Brien has been quoted as saying.
