 "Lok Sabha adjourned for the day, Rajya Sabha till 2:30 pm")
Uproar over various issues, including BJP demand for resignation of the Prime Minister over the coal scam and the chit fund scandal in West Bengal, disrupted proceedings in Parliament, forcing Lok Sabha to adjourn for the day.
Meanwhile, Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 2:30 pm.
Both Houses of Parliament witnessed two adjournments due to vociferous slogan-shouting by members on various demands, with those from BJP, BJD, SP, Trinamool Congress and Left parties storming the Well in the Lower House forcing its adjournment for the day after papers were laid at noon.
When Lok Sabha reassembled after an adjournment earlier, BJP members walked into the Well raising slogans against the Prime Minister over alleged attempt by some ministers to influence CBI probe into the coal scam.
Left members were also in the Well protesting the "political-chit fund nexus" in West Bengal. They demanded immediate refund of poor investors' deposits and stopping of "state-sponsored terror" in the Mamata Banerjee-ruled state.
Interestingly, Trinamool Congress members were also in the Well over the same issue, raising slogans like "chit fund ke zimmedaar mantri, isteefa do" (ministers involved in the chit fund scam should quit) and "chit fund bandh karo" (stop chit funds).
BJD members displayed placards in the Well seeking special financial package for Odisha, while AIADMK members showed newspaper copies to demand ouster of P C Chacko as the head of JPC on 2G spectrum scam.
Samajwadi Party members were also in the Well to protest the questioning of Uttar Pradesh Minister Azam Khan at Boston airport in the US.
The continued uproar led senior Congress member Girija Vyas, who was in the Chair, to adjourn the House for the day after papers were laid.
Similar scenes were witnessed in the Rajya Sabha when it reassembled at noon, with BJP members trooping into the Well raising slogans demanding resignation of the Prime Minister over the coal scam.
SP members, who were also in the Well, protested the questioning of Azam Khan at Boston airport.
BJD members were in the aisle showing placards to seek more funds for Odisha. As the din continued, Deputy Chairman P J Kurien, who was in the Chair, adjourned the House till 2.30 PM.
Earlier, both the Houses witnessed the first adjournment within minutes after they assembled at 11 am.
