Uproar over the killing of five Indian soldiers on the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir by Pakistani troops today led to adjournment of Parliament till noon.
The Telangana issue also figured in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha for the second day.
As soon as Lok Sabha assembled for the day, Samajwadi Party members rushed to the Well raising the issue of attack on an Indian post by Pakistani soldiers.
Simultaneously, some Congress members, who support a 'united' Andhra Pradesh, raised slogans seeking justice.
BJP members, who did not leave their seats, also shouted slogans protesting the killing of Indian soldiers.
SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav and party MP Shailendra Kumar had moved an adjournment motion on the issue.
Amid pandemonium, the House could not take up Question Hour and the proceedings were adjourned till noon.
Similar scenes were witnessed in the Rajya Sabha where opposition members, including those from BJP, SP and BSP demanded a reply from the Prime Minister saying the killing of Indian soldiers was a "very serious" issue.
The uproar over the attack led to an ugly spat between Naresh Agarwal (SP) and Congress member Mani Shakar Aiyar forcing Chairman Hamid Ansari to adjourn the House till noon.
Pakistani troops intruded into the Indian territory and attacked Sarla post along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch sector in Jammu and Kashmir late last night.
