November 22, 2011  12:25

We told you earlier that the Parliament has adjourned for the day, even as the winter session got off to a stormy start with members raising issues ranging from better price for cotton to a separate Telangana and BJP protesting against Home Minister P Chidambaram. Briefly, here's what happened...

Telangana: Soon after Speaker Meira Kumar completed obituary references, the members were seen on their feet waving placards and raising slogans on various issues.Congress members from Telangana region chanted 'We want Telangana' and carried placards which read 'implement the promise on formation of Telangana', 'introduce Bill on Telangana'.

 

Amid the din, the Speaker called for the Question Hour

 

2G and PC: As Chidambaram stood up to reply, BJP members rose in unison to protest against him.BJP-led NDA has been demanding resignation of the Home Minister alleging his involvement in the 2G scam when he was Finance Minister, and has decided to boycott him in Parliament.

 

The Speaker adjourned the House till noon and when it reconvened, was adjourned within minutes as the din continued. Not a promising start.
