Both the Houses of Parliament witnessed unruly scenes on several issues including Telangana, leading to the adjournment of the Lok Sabha for the day and the Rajya Sabha till 2 PM on the opening day of the resumed Winter Session.

The other issues figuring in the both the Houses include the killing of a student from Arunachal Pradesh in
Delhi, inclusion of some backward castes in the list of Scheduled
Castes and the Augusta Westland Helicopter deal.

When the Lok Sabha re-assembled at noon after its first adjournment, members from Andhra Pradesh rushed to the well with placards in their hands opposing the formation of Telangana.

In the Rajya, which met after its second adjournment at 1230 hours,
Congress and TDP members from Andhra Pradesh, trooped into the well opposing the move for creation of Telangana.

Samajwadi Party members also rushed to the well in support of their demand for inclusion of the people belonging to 17 backward castes in the Scheduled Caste category. On the other hand BJP members also raised slogans against alleged kickbacks in the August Westland Helicopter deal.

Amid din, Deputy Chairman Prof. P J Kurien allowed Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde to move a motion to withdraw the Communal Violence (Prevention, control and Rehabilitation of Victims) Bill, 2005. However, BJP members strongly protested when the Minister rose to introduce the new bill in its place.

Senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad demanded a statement from the government on the Augusta Westland Helicopter deal. Responding to this Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Rajiv Shukla said the government will make a statement on the issue today itself. Later, as the noisy scenes continued, Prof. Kurien adjourned the House till 2 PM.
