The Lok Sabha was on Thursday adjourned for the day as the united opposition cornered the government for not initiating action against the tainted ministers.
Meanwhile, similar scenes were witnessed in the Rajya Sabha which has been adjourned till 2 p.m.
Several opposition members including Mallikarjun Kharge had given adjournment notices for suspending the Question Hour. Speaker Sumitra Majahan rejected the notices.
BJP chief whip Arjun Ram Meghwal wanted to move a privilege motion against Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law, Robert Vadra.
Robert Vadra allegedly wrote some castigating remarks against Parliamentarians on his facebook page.
Later, the opposition members belonging to Congress, TRS and others trooped into the well of the House. The TRS members were demanding setting up of a separate High Court for the Telangana.
The Congress members shouted slogans on various corruption issues against the government.
This is for the third consecutive day the logjam between opposition and government continued.
