Both the houses of Parliament have been adjourned till 2 P.M on different issues.

In the Lok Sabha, Congress member Sanjay Nirupam strongly protested the Tamil Nadu government's decision to release the convicts in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

He was countered by members from AIADMK and DMK. Following noisy scenes, the presiding officer adjourned the house till 2PM. Earlier, Samajwadi party member Shailendra Kumar demanded implementation of the reports of Sachar Committee and Rangannath Mishra Commission for the upliftment of the minority community.

BJP member Shahanawaz Hussain demanded special status for Bihar and JD(U) member Sharad Yadav for development of backward states.

In the Rajya Sabha, Deputy Chairman, Prof. P J Kurien was forced to adjourn the House for the third time as pandemonium continued over Telangana and other issues. Andhra Pradesh members were in the well showing placards for and against state bifurcation.

Prof. Kurien called members to speak on a Calling Attention motion on Tamil fishermen issue but they insisted on the presence of the Prime Minister or External Affairs Minister to respond. His repeated appeals for normalcy went in vain forcing adjournment. In the melee, Minister of State for External Affairs Praneet Kaur tabled her statement.
