New Delhi, May 3 (Inditop.com) The Lok Sabha was adjourned till noon Monday as opposition members disrupted the proceedings over the controversial allocation of 2G telecom spectrum.
When the house assembled for Question Hour, members of the AIADMK, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Samajwadi Party (SP) walked towards the speaker’s podium, raising slogans and brandishing copies of a national newspaper that carried reports of alleged financial irregularities on the part of Telecom Minister A. Raja over the 2G spectrum allocation.
Speaker Meira Kumar tried to conduct the proceedings amidst the din, but soon adjourned the house till noon.
The opposition protest was led by RJD leader Lalu Prasad and SP leader Mulayam Singh Yadav.
The spectrum scam created a furore in parliament last week after a newspaper report on the tapping of phone conversations between a high-profile lobbyist and public relations firm owner and Communications Minister A. Raja alleged wrongdoing in the allocation of 2G spectrum.
