Indian Parliament was adjourned till noon today following uproar over creation of several issues including the alleged harassment of Tamil Nadu fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy, PTI reported.

LokSabha was adjourned within minutes after it met for the day, while RajyaSabha saw two adjournments during the Question Hour.

Members from Andhra, cutting across party lines, trooped into the well carrying placards saying 'Jai Samaikyandhra' and 'Save Andhra Pradesh'.

The government proposes to bring the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill for creation of separate Telangana even as political parties from the state are divided over the issue.

Some members from Bihar were seen with posters in LokSabha demanding special status for the state.

DMK members, including T R Baalu, raised the issue of harassment of Tamil Nadu fishermen by Sri Lankan Navy.

AIADMK members as well as Samajwadi Party MP Shailendra Kumar also raised slogans but were inaudible in the din.

DMK members led by Kanimozhi shouted slogans seeking India's intervention to save Tamil Nadu fishermen held by Sri Lanka. They held banners that read 'Save Tamil Fishermen'
