New Delhi : The Telangana issue will figure in Parliament on Friday, with the Lok Sabha scheduled to take up a calling attention motion on the issue.
Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj has given notice of the calling attention motion, which will be responded to by the Home Minister P Chidambaram.
