Lok Sabha adjourned for day, Rajya Sabha till 2 p.m.

The Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day on Wednesday, while the Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 2 p.m., following opposition-related uproar on various issues.

Earlier, both Houses witnessed noisy interruptions, which forced the chair to adjourn till noon.

In the Lok Sabha, Members of Parliament from Tamil Nadu called on the Indian Government to take back Katchhathivu Island which it had ceded to Sri Lanka. Agitated members continued with their slogans in the Well of the House, ignoring repeated appeals for calm by the Chair.

Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar said she was compelled to adjourn proceedings as the uproar refused to die down.

She also informed the House that she had received notices for a no-confidence motion against the government from several members.

In the Rajya Sabha, as soon as the House met at noon after the first adjournment, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) members rushed into the Well of the House to seek support for their demand for the inclusion of people belonging to seventeen backward classes in the Scheduled Caste category.

They were also supported by members belonging to Samajwadi Party. Telugu Desam Party (TDP) members trooped into the Well of the House over their demand for United Andhra Pradesh.

Senior BJP leader M.Venkaiah Naidu demanded a discussion on the Joint Parliamentary Committee report on 2G spectrum allocation.

As noisy scenes continued, Rajya Sabha Deputy Chaiman P.J. Kurien adjourned the House till 2 p.m.
