The issue of violence in Mumbai over Assam riots stalled the Lok Sabha proceedings for the second consecutive day today as the Opposition members stormed the Well demanding the dismissal of the Maharashtra Government.
This led to the adjournment of the House till noon.
As soon as the House met, Shiv Sena and BJP members from Maharashtra trooped into the Well demanding the dismissal of the Maharashtra Government and a statement from Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde.
BJP members were also on their feet supporting them by raising slogans and demanding a statement on Assam riots from Shinde, who had visited the strife-torn areas yesterday.
Members of Left parties were also in the Well and waved placards to seek universalisation of public distribution system.
‘No Priority. No General. We demand universalisation of public distribution system’ read a placard in the hand of CPI(M) member Bansa Gopal Chowdhury.
Speaker Meira Kumar tried to take up the Question Hour, but as the Opposition members were unrelenting she adjourned the House till noon.
Yesterday, the Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day after uproar over violence in Mumbai over Assam riots.
