Ruckus continues in Parliament: Both Houses adjourned till noon
Scenes of continued uproar prevailed in both houses as a recalcitrant opposition stuck to its demand for resignation of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on the Lalit Modi issue, but the government said: "discuss or disrupt, there will be no resignation."
In a counter to the Congress-led onslaught on the government on issues like Lalit Modi and Vyapam scam the BJP gave notices in both houses to take corruption issues in Congress-ruled states.
The Congress, on the other hand, gave an adjournment notice seeking government's reply on scandals.
The Thursday is the third day of the monsoon session of Parliament which is supposed to take up a string of important bills.
The first two days were a wash out because of the unrelenting battle between the ruling BJP and the Congress-led opposition.
Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have been facing repeated disruptions and the houses are unable to keep up scheduled business because of opposition's ruckus in Parliament over the Lalit Modi issue and Vyapam scam.
Congress MPs on Wednesday shouted slogans, wore black bands and waved anti-Modi posters as they continued their demand for the resignation of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj over the Lalit Modi row.
