Telangana likely to rock Parliament for the second day
August 06, 2013  09:20
The second day of Parliament's Monsoon Session on Tuesday is also likely to be disrupted by MPs opposed to the creation of a separate Telangana state, after a ruckus over the issue washed away the first day yesterday. 

Uproarious scenes were witnessed in both Houses yesterday over the decision to form Telangana even as the government said substantive and procedural issues related to the new state would be dealt with in a Cabinet note being prepared. 

There were also demands for creation of new states, including Bodoland out of Assam. Two members from Bodo areas also staged a protest outside Parliament building to press the demand in the wake of Telangana decision. 

Both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha could not function normally as they witnessed slogan-shouting by members from Andhra Pradesh against the proposal to form Telangana and demanding justice to the people of the Seemandhra region. 

Due to the uproar, both the Houses were adjourned repeatedly without transacting any substantial business.
