NEW DELHI: The Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were adjourned till noon,
minutes after the two Houses gathered on Monday, as a united opposition
created uproar over government's decision to allow FDI in retail.
The opposition members were up on their feet shouting slogans against the government.
In Lok Sabha, plea for calm by Speaker Meira Kumar fell on deaf ears.
In the Rajya Sabha also the members refused to listen to the Chairman.
Several parties are expected to move adjournment motion over the issue in both the Houses.

The govt if also facing fire from some of its key allies who have openly opposed the move to allow FDI in retail.
The opposition parties are trying to rope in these parties to isolate the govt.
