Telangana issue rocked Lok Sabha

Separate Telangana issue rocked the Loksabha as M.P. from the area started shouting slogans for the separate state. After repeated requests from Lok sabha speaker members don't turn to their seats and house was adjourned.

Earlier as the Loksabha started the member of Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) from the Telangana region started shouting slogan for a separate state.

Loksabha speaker Meira Kumar requested the agitating members to raise the issues during zero hour. But members do not stop their agitations and two members sat near her podium and continue shouting slogan.

During the Commotion, Leader of opposition Sushma Swaraj appealed speaker to stop question hour and say to Leader of House Pranab Mukherjee to clarify the govt. stand on the issue.

She said to government to inform the house about the status of Telangana. These members have been raising the voice of thousands of people agitating outside parliament.

"The government promised to carve a separate state in 2009 and since then no action has been taken. We assure the government to bring a bill for creating a separate state and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will support the government in passing it,"she said.

It is noted that Congress suspended its eight MPs from the Lok Sabha for disrupting the House over Telangana last week.
