Lok Sabha was adjourned till noon today amid uproar over various issues including demand for adopting a resolution against the United States for alleged ill-treatment of an Indian diplomat.
Samajwadi Party member Shailendra Kumar raised the issue of India's Deputy Consul General in New York Devyani Khobragade and demanded that the House adopt a resolution condemning the incident.
Amid noisy scenes, Seemandhra members belonging to YSR Congress and TDP trooped into Well and shouted slogans against creation of Telangana.
Members of Left parties too tried to raise some issues but could not be heard in the din.
Earlier, when the House met for the day, the Lok Sabha Secretary General informed members that the amended Lokpal Bill was passed by Rajya Sabha yesterday and it has been returned to the Lower House for its consideration.
As pandemonium continued, Speaker Meira Kumar adjourned the House till noon.
