Noisy protests erupted in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday with members opposed to division of Andhra Pradesh trooping into the Well and a TDP member snatching papers from Secretary General Shumsher K. Sheriff forcing two adjournments in the pre-lunch sitting.
Samajwadi Party MPs were also in the Well seeking a resolution to condemn the black out of Lok Sabha proceedings during the passage the controversial Telangana bill.
C.M. Ramesh (TDP) and his party colleague Y.S. Chowdhary strongly protested against the Telangana bill. Mr. Ramesh lost his cool as soon as Deputy Chairman P.J. Kurien asked the Secretary General to read the message from Lok Sabha, which obviously included a mention about passage of the bill to carve out a separate Telangana from Andhra Pradesh.
Security staff of Parliament rushed to the aid of the Secretary General as Mr. Ramesh kept shouting against the passage of the Telangana bill in Lok Sabha and maintaining that it was done in an unconstitutional manner.
Amid din, Mr. Kurien adjourned the House till 2 pm.
