The Lok Sabha witnessed an uproar on Tuesday following a Telangana member's demand for a separate High Court in the state. As soon as the Lok Sabha assembled, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan mourned the death of 20 passengers in a bus accident in Madhya Pradesh.

Soon after the house observed a minute's silence, members from the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) raised the issue of a separate High Court for Telangana but the Speaker asked them to raise the issue during the Zero Hour. But the TRS members continued their with their demand, leading to the adjournment of the house for 10 minutes.

Parliamentary Affairs Miniter M Venkaiah Naidu told the house that the government is ready for a separate High Court in Telangana, but the matter is sub-judice as public interest litigations have been filed on the matter.
