SP, BSP and RJD members on Friday forced adjournment of Lok Sabha for an hour voicing dissatisfaction over the quantum of proposed salary hike for MPs.
Mr Mulayam Singh Yadav (SP) and Mr Lalu Prasad (RJD) were on their feet during Question Hour claiming that government had insulted Parliament by rejecting the recommendation of its Committee to raise the basic salary to Rs 80,001 per month.
The Cabinet, at a meeting on Friday, approved a proposal to raise the basic salary of MPs to Rs 50,000 from present level of Rs 16,000.
"The government decision is an insult of Parliament. The Bill should be torn to pieces," Mr Prasad said in the Lok Sabha.
SP members, led by Yadav, backed Mr Prasad and trooped to the well demanding that the MPs' Salary Bill be taken back.
BSP members and a lone JD(U) member who was present were also seen on their feet supporting the issue.
As members were unrelenting, Speaker, Ms Meira Kumar, adjourned the proceedings till noon.
