Lok Sabha adjourned till noon

The Lok Sabha was adjourned till noon on Thursday after the Congress-led opposition raised a ruckus over the Vyapam recruitment scam and the controversy over BJP leaders' association with former IPL chief Lalit Modi.

Within 10 minutes of the commencement of the lower house proceedings, several members from the opposition parties took out placards and raised slogans protesting against the Bharatiya Janta Party' role in the Vyapam scam and the Lalit Modi controversy.

Amid the din, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said: "The house has been adjourned till noon."

The first two days of the monsoon session were washed out due to several adjournments.
