On Wednesday, Lok Sabha was adjourned till noon after uproar by opposition members on the alleged farm loan waiver scam. In fact, as soon as the House met, members of the BJP and the Left were on their feet raising the issue of the findings of a CAG report with regard to the scheme to waive loans of farmers totalling up to Rs. 52,000 crore.

Moreover, the BJP members led by deputy leader Gopinath Munde raised slogans against the government and that they were joined by the CPI(M) members.

Even the AIADMK members were in the aisle raising the issue of plight of ethnic Tamils in Sri Lanka.

As a result of Speaker Meira Kumar called for the Question Hour, the BJP and the SP members trooped into the well demanding immediate discussion on the farm loan waiver issue.

With members intensifying the moment, the Speaker postponed the House till noon.

To conclude, The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report on the scheme has said several ineligible farmers were favoured and a large number of deserving small and marginal farmers left out in implementation of the loan waiver scheme.
