"The Telangana bill has been introduced and the incident that took place in the house is a big blot on our parliamentary democracy. Many party leaders have requested me to ask the speaker to take strict action against the MPs...it is a very shameful act," said Kamal Nath.

He added that he did not see, but he was told that some MPs also brought in knife, gas cannister and other weapons.
