As soon as the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha met for the day (27TH August,2012), BJP members trooped to the Well raising slogans against the Prime Minister.In the Lok Sabha, the NDA appeared to put up a show of unity with Shiv Sena, JD(U) and Akali Dal members raising slogans against the government from their seats.DMK members were also seen protesting against the government for training Sri Lankan forces at airbases in India.Several Congress members were also on their feet insisting that the House function.Amid vociferous protests, both the Houses were adjourned till 2 PM .In the Rajya Sabha, DMK members moved to the aisles carrying banners that read ‘Stop Training Sri Lankan Army’ the moment Chairman Hamid Ansari called the House to order.
“Please don’t do that...no banners please,” Mr Ansari pleaded with DMK members.BJP members on the other hand shouted slogans demanding resignation of the Prime Minister.When DMK members started moving towards the Well, Mr Ansari warned them that he “will name them” if they stepped into the Well. He then adjourned the House.
