NEW DELHI: Furore over the killing of farmers in Nandigram in West Bengal today created pandemonium in both Houses of Parliament, forcing their adjournment till noon.
Trouble began in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha right from the word go as a determined Opposition demanded suspension of Question Hour and taking up of discussion on the issue.
In the Lok Sabha, Leader of the Opposition L K Advani was allowed to speak by Deputy Speaker Charanjit Singh Atwal who, however, disallowed suspension of the Question Hour.
The Left members vociferously protested against Advani being allowed to speak with CPI(M) leader Basudeb Acharia asking the Chair under what rule was he allowing Advani.
Amid slogan-shouting by BJP-Shiv Sena members that "Communists are murderers" and "Communist high-handedness will not be tolerated", Acharia questioned allowing the issue of law and order, which is a state subject, to be raised in Parliament.
This added fuel to the Opposition fire with some Shiv Sena members demanding dismissal of the Left Front Government in West Bengal for the "cold-blooded murder of farmers".
The scene was no different in Rajya Sabha when Leader of the Opposition Jaswant Singh rose to speak on the issue.
