The Indian Parliament was paralysed for the second day today with members raising a host of issues ranging from demand for President’s rule in Uttar Pradesh over “deteriorating” law and order to the plight of ethnic Tamils in Sri Lanka.

Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha could not transact any business because of the continuous uproar.

Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day at noon after one adjournment, while Rajya Sabha witnessed two adjournments till 2 PM when it was adjourned for the day.

As soon as the Lok Sabha met for the day, BSP, SP, Left and AIADMK members stormed the Well over issues including law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh in the wake of the killing of a DSP, over which BSP and SP members shouted slogans against each other.

Tamil MPs raised the issue of plight of Sri Lankan Tamils. DMK members were in black shirt to register their protest while AIADMK MPs raised slogans carrying placards saying “Save Tamils in Sri Lanka”.

With Tamil parties adopting a tough stand on Sri Lankan Tamils issue, Lok Sabha is likely to have a discussion on the matter on Thursday under a rule which does not entail voting.

In an attempt to mount pressure on the Government, MPs of DMK, a major partner of the ruling UPA, today attended House proceedings wearing black shirts after staging a protest inside the Parliament House complex.

Expressing solidarity with agitating members, DMK representative in the Government, Minister of State for Finance S S Palanimackam also wore a black shirt though he did not participate in the protest.

Speaker Meira Kumar may allow a short duration discussion on the Sri Lankan Tamil issue on Thursday under Rule 193, which doesn’t entail voting, sources said.

The issue was raised vociferously by AIADMK members, who trooped into the Well of Lok Sabha twice raising slogans, PTI reported.
