Soon after the Houses re-assembled at noon after an adjournment for an hour, unrelenting opposition members were again on their feet.

Shouting slogans, National Democratic Alliance members stormed the well in both Houses asking Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to make a statement on the whereabouts of Coal Minister Sibu Soren, against whom an arrest warrant has been issued in a 30-year-old murder case.

In the Lok Sabha, Leader of the House and Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee made a statement condemning the behaviour of a section of the opposition which obstructed the speaker from making an observation.
