Both the Houses of Parliament have been adjourned for the day today following uproarious scenes on Lalit Modi controversy and other issues. The Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day amid slogan shouting by opposition members who continued to demand the resignation of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in the Lalit Modi controversy and other issues. After two pre-lunch adjournments, when the House re-assembled at 2 PM, Congress led opposition members shouted slogans and trooped into the well of the House forcing the Chair to adjourn the House for the day.
Earlier, in the morning, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan warned that disciplinary action will be taken if the members display placards in the House. She urged the members to observe Parliamentary decorum. But her warning had no effect on the agitating members. Defying her warning, the Congress-led opposition members again trooped into the well displaying placards which called for the resignations of Ms Swaraj and the Chief Ministers of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Members belonging to the Telangana Rashtra Samithi displayed placards demanding a separate High Court for Telangana. The Rajya Sabha, which witnessed four adjournments on Lalit Modi issue, was adjourned for the day. The issue rocked proceedings for the second day today.
