New Delhi: The Shiv Sena members today created uproar in Lok Sabha over alleged police action against Marathi-speaking people in Belgaum district in Karnataka, leading to disruption of the Question Hour.

Showing photographs of those allegedly injured in the police action and newspaper clippings, the Sena members demanded suspension of Question Hour to discuss the issue.
Some BJP members from Karnataka stood in the aisle objecting to the Shiv Sena members' protest.
Speaker Sumitra Mahajan tried to persuade the Sena members to go back to their seats and assured them that she would allow raising the issue during Zero Hour, but they did not relent.
As pandemonium continued, she adjourned the House till noon.
