Both the Houses of Parliament were adjourned till noon following uproarious scenes over the opposition demand for the dismissal of Telecom Minister A.Raja for alleged corruption in allocation of 2-G spectrum. <br/>As soon as the Lok Sabha met for the day, Opposition members came to the well of the House to press for their demand. The Lok Sabha Speaker Mrs. Meira Kumar appealed to the members to let the question hour go on, but the opposition insisted on its demand and continued to raise slogans. Nothing could be heard in the din and the House was adjourned till noon. <br/>The situation was no better in Rajya Sabha which was adjourned twice over the issue, first for 15 minutes and then till noon. The AIADMK and BJP members also wanted the Telecom Minister to be sacked. They demanded a statement by the Prime Minister on the issue as well. As the sloganeering continued, the Chairman Mohd. Hamid Ansari adjourned the House.<br/>
