New Delhi, May 8 (ANI): Both Houses of Parliament adjourned sine die on Wednesday, two days before the scheduled end of the Budget Session.
While the Lok Sabha adjourned around 12 15 p.m. after the opposition led by the BJP refused to allow proceedings over a demand for the resignations of Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, Law and Justice Minister Ashwani Kumar and Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal for their alleged respective roles in the coal block allocation and Railway Board appointment scams, the Rajya Sabha adjourned sine die after bidding farewell to eight of its members at around 1 p.m.
Both Houses were adjourned after the recitation of Vande Mataram, the national song.
Earlier, members belonging to the BJP, Shiromani Akali Dal, Samajwadi Party, Left Parties and the AIADMK rushed into the well of the Lok Sabha raising slogans and displaying placards.
The Shiromani Akali Dal sought the reopening of the 1984 Delhi riots case.
In the Lok Sabha, Speaker Meira Kumar adjourned proceedings, but not before raising an objection to one member of the house leaving the premises while the national song was being sung.
Proceedings in the Rajya Sabha were closed by its Chairman M.Hamid Ansari. (ANI)
