The Lok Sabha was twice adjourned today following uproar over Telangana, Bodoland and the issue of Women's Reservation Bill. The House was first adjourned for 15 minutes during question hour. The proceedings in the house resumed smoothly when the house reassembled but the moment the question hour was over, several members in the opposition benches were up on their feet, raising pitch over these issues. They continued with their sloganeering even as the papers were laid. While some MPs were seen shouting slogans for United Andhra Pradesh, the others were raising voice in favour of Telanga issue. Agitated over the Standing Committee of Parliament approving the Reservation Bill for Women in its original form, the Samajwadi Party members wanted the bill to be withdrawn. A lone member from the Bodoland People's Party Bwiswmuthiary was also raising slogans to press his demand for carving out a separate state of Bodoland. As the pandemonium continued, and several members trooped into the well of the House, the Speaker adjourned the House till 2 P.M.<br/>
