Par fails to function for 6th day over coal issue

For the sixth straight day, Parliament could not function properly today because of ruckus created by Opposition which was demanding resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh over coal block allocation issue and CBI affidavit on it.
Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha saw uproar as soon as they met for the day, forcing their adjournment till noon, then till 2 PM and finally for the day.
As soon as Lok Sabha assembled in the morning, BJP members led by Ganesh Singh and Sanjay Jaiswal trooped into the Well shouting slogans: "pradhan mantri isteefa do (Prime Minister resign)" and "koyele ki dalali hai, poori Congress kali hai (Congress is tainted in coal scam)".

SP member Shailendra Kumar raised the issue of incursion by Chinese troops in Ladakh. "China is capturing the whole country," he said, prompting his party members to troop into into the Well to protest on the issue.
"The country is in grave danger," Saroj Toofani (SP) said amid din, while his party colleague Neeraj Shekhar shouted that Chinese troops were well inside the Indian territory.
Congress members from Telangana region held placards demanding formation of a separate state. They stood in the aisle.

As the din continued, Speaker Meira Kumar adjourned the House till noon.
Similar scenes were witnessed when the House re-assembled with BJP members resuming slogan-shouting.

In the din, Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav voiced concern over the Chinese troops intruding up to 19 km in Ladakh region and targeted the government for not dealing with it properly.
The former Defence Minister, whose party is extending crucial support to the UPA, accused the government of behaving in a "cowardly and incompetent" manner and said it was "good for nothing".
