New Delhi, Jul 23 (IBNS) The all out war between the ruling BJP and the opposition led to adjournment of both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha till noon on Thursday in a repeat action of the previous two days of the monsoon session of Parliament.

Scenes of continued uproar prevailed in both houses as a recalcitrant opposition stuck to its demand for resignation of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on the Lalit Modi issue, but the government said: "discuss or disrupt, there will be no resignation."

In a counter to the Congress-led onslaught on the government on issues like Lalit Modi and Vyapam scam the BJP gave  notices in both houses to take corruption issues in Congress-ruled states.

The Congress, on the other hand, gave an adjournment notice seeking government's reply on scandals.
