Lok Sabha adjourned till noon

New Delhi, Dec 12: The Lok Sabha was adjourned till 12 p.m. on Wednesday after opposition parties, including the Congress and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) raised various issues which the Speaker did not want to allow.

Soon after the question hour began, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge rose at his seat and wanted to say something but Speaker Sumitra Mahajan did not allow.

Within seconds, the Congress, the TDP and other opposition members reached near the Speaker's podium and started sloganeering.

Amid the din, Mahajan tried to conduct the question hour but failed. She then adjourned the House till 12 noon.
