The Lok Sabha on Tuesday witnessed two brief adjournments during Question Hour after the AIADMK members created a ruckus demanding action against former finance minister P. Chidambaram's son over corruption charges.
Soon after the house met, AIADMK members trooped near Speaker's podium holdings newspapers reports. They were raising slogans like "we want justice".
Amid the din Speaker Sumitra Mahajan adjourned the house till 11.15 a.m.
When the house reassembled, AIADMK members again trooped near the speaker's podium shouting slogans.
AIADMK members levelled corruption charges against the former minister's son citing a media report.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu urged the members to raise the issue after giving notice.
"The issue being raised here is very important. But please go to your seats. Give a notice. Government has no problem to discuss the issue," he said.
The Speaker also requested the members to let the house function.
Amid the din the Speaker tried to conduct the question hour but the AIADMK members were not relenting.
She then again adjourned the house till 12 noon.
