Arrest of innocent Muslims in false terror cases across the country also led to noisy scenes in the House, which saw two adjournments during pre-lunch sitting.

Soon after the House met for the day, Samajwadi Party stalled the Question Hour demanding release of "innocent" Muslim youth arrested on false terror charges across the country.

Chairman Hamid Ansari said the issue can be raised after Question Hour but SP members were unrelenting and started raising slogans. As Ansari did not permit them to raise the matter, they rushed into the Well leading to adjournment of the House till noon.

When the House reassembled, members from the Samajwadi Party again trooped into the Well chanting slogans opposing quota in promotion for SC/ST in government jobs.

BSP chief Mayawati and her party members, however, kept silent in their seats when SP MPs led by Naresh Agrawal shouted slogans. SP leader Ramgopal Yadav was also seen in the Well.

Government listed the bill in this regard in the Lok Sabha today in an apparent bid to please BSP ahead of the crucial discussion on FDI under a rule that entails voting. BSP has 21 members in the Lower House.

In the Rajya Sabha, members from ruling Congress waved a news magazine and copies of the report alleging irregularities in a gas deal by the Narendra Modi government in Gujarat.

BJP members including Ravishankar Prasad, M Venkaiah Naidu, Najma Heptulla and Maya Singh were also on their feet protesting the waving of the report by Congress members.

Deputy Chairman P J Kurien asked Congress members not to show the magazine saying "this is against the rule". Amid din, he adjourned the House till 2 PM.

Similar scenes were witnessed when the House met again as Samajwadi Party members again trooped into the Well opposing quota in promotion for SC/ST in government jobs.

In the din, Labour Minister Mallikarjun Kharge introduced a bill to amend the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act 1986.

Deputy Chairman P J Kurien also allowed laying of papers and reports of Parliamentary Committees.

However, as the din continued, Kurien adjourned the House for the day.
