Parliament adjourned for another day

Both Houses of Parliament were Thursday adjourned for the eighth day amid uproarious scenes with a determined Opposition sticking to its demand for the resignation of the Vajpayee Government over the defence scandal.

Within minutes of assembling, Opposition members in the Lok Sabha stormed into the well, shouting that the government was corrupt, while ruling party members countered, accusing the Congress of being corrupt.

In the Rajya Sabha, the Opposition was on its feet, raising anti-government slogans even as Chairman Krishan Kant observed that nothing would go on record.

Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was present in the House.

Friday is the last day of sitting for both Houses before they go for a three-week recess and reassemble on April 16.

The Lok Sabha was to discuss the report of the Kargil Review Committee.
