The two MPs from Manipur received standing ovations from Congress and INDIA bloc MPs when they took the oath. Many MPs from Maharashtra, cutting across party lines, ended their oath by chanting slogans. Some MPs taking a photo of a colleague taking oath invited protest from Opposition sides. On several occasions, protem speaker Bhartruhari Mahtab told the House that given the solemn occasion, the members should not depart from their text and add sentences on their own while taking oath. That made little impact on many MPs.
