Uproarious scenes were witnessed in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha after they assembled for the day, with BJP members storming the Well shouting slogans against the Prime Minister and the Congress.
In both Houses, members of NDA allies Shiv Sena and SAD were on their feet but they did not go into the Well while JD-U members remained seated.
The slogan shouting by the BJP was countered by Congress members, who hailed the Prime Minister.
In the Rajya Sabha, Congress member from Jharkhand Pradip Balmuchu led the charge shouting slogans against the BJP and taunting the Opposition party for boycotting Parliament.
The Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day after the first adjournment with Speaker Meira Kumar taking up two legislations - Chemical Weapons Convention (Amendment) Bill, and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (Amendment) Bill.
In the din, the two bills were passed by voice vote without any discussion after Minister of State for Chemicals Srikant Jena and Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad moved them.
In the Rajya Sabha, BJP members, who had by then trooped into the Well, shouted "Beimano Ki Sarkar Nahin Chalegi (the government of the dishonest will not be allowed)."
Congress members retorted saying "BJP Ki Goondagardi Nahin Chalegi (the hooliganism of the BJP won't be allowed)."
In the din, the House took up a calling attention motion on the situation arising out of casualties during clinical trial in the country. Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Mukul Roy laid a statement on it.
As the din continued, Deputy Chairman P J Kurien adjourned the House till 2 PM. (MORE)
