Seemandhra voices echo in Parliament

The second day of monsoon session of Parliament witnessed uproarious scenes with the Seemandhra MPs protesting in both the houses against the Centre's announcement to carve out a separate Telangana state out of AP.

Soon after the session began, Seemandhra MPs raised slogans demanding justice for the state. Holding placards, the MPs rushed to the Speaker's podium demanding a discussion on the Telangana issue.

It is learnt that Sonia Gandhi assured the Seemandhra Congress MPs to give them a patient hearing but asked them not to surround Speaker's podium. With this, the MPs went back their seats and continued to protest from there.
