Uproar in both Houses of Parliament over special status to Andhra Pradesh

Parliament on Thursday continued to witness protest from the members of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and YSR Congress over demand for special status to Andhra Pradesh and other financial benefits to the state.

In Lok Sabha, members of the two parties again staged separate protests, forcing a brief adjournment during Question Hour while the Rajya Sabha witnessed pandemonium over the issue even



as the attempts to resolve the issue by chairman M Venkaiah Naidu failed.

As the Lok Sabha met, members from the TDP and the YSR Congress trooped near the speaker's podium with placards and started raising slogans demanding "justice" for Andhra Pradesh.

The protest and sloganeering continued even as speaker Sumitra Mahajan urged the members to go back to their seats.
