The BJP today demanded a high-level probe by experts and representatives of political parties into the 'blackout' of the live coverage in Lok Sabha when the contentious Telangana Bill was taken up for passage on February 18 and said the presiding officers should take responsibility for it.

Senior party leader Venkaiah Naidu said the prestige of Parliament was at stake and thus accountability should be fixed for the 'blackout' incident.

He expressed apprehension that it could not have happened suddenly without the knowledge of the presiding officers.
