September 05, 2012 01:57 pm | Updated November 16, 2021 09:46 pm IST - New Delhi

The coal block allocation issue cast its shadow on Parliament for the eleventh day on Wednesday paralysing proceedings with BJP remaining unrelenting on the demand for resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned till noon after opposition triggered ruckus on the issue and the Lower House adjourned for the day minutes after it reassembled.

When the Rajya Sabha met at noon, a scuffle broke out between Naresh Agrawal (SP) and Avtar Singh Karimpuri (BSP) during introduction of a Bill seeking to provide reservation in promotion to SC/ST in government jobs.

As the unruly scenes continued, the House was adjourned till 2 pm.
