New Delhi, Aug 13 (UNI) The Lok Sabha was today adjourned till 1130 hrs as Samajwadi Party members rushed into the well of the House while the Left as well as the opposition members shouted slogans demanding scrapping of the Indo-US nuclear deal.

Speaker Somnath Chatterjee repeatedly urged the members to go back to their seat but his words fell on deaf ears and the irate MPs continued with slogan shouting.
