New Delhi: There was uproar in Parliament on Friday over the twin blasts in Hyderabad.
Both the Houses were first adjourned till 12 noon. While the Lok Sabha resumed work when it reassembled at noon, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 2.30 pm amid continuing uproar.
Speaking in the Lok Sabha, senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sushma Swaraj asked: “If there was information, why was nothing done to prevent such an incident?”
If intelligence is available on terror attacks then the liability of the government is more, she further said.
In the Rajya Sabha, the BJP had said it wanted a debate on the Hyderabad blasts and refused to let the Upper House function.
Minister of State for Home RPN Singh had told the House that Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde had gone to Hyderabad and would probably make a statement in Parliament after he returned to the national capital at 2:30 pm.
Similar scenes were witnessed in the Lok Sabha.
Earlier this morning, Shinde who visited the twin bomb blasts site at Dilsukhnagar in Hyderabad, said 14 people were killed in the blast and 110 were injured.
He then went to the bus shelter about 150 meters away where the second blast killed another six people and left many injured.
Shinde, accompanied by Andhra Pradesh Governor ESL Narasimhan, Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and Union Home Secretary RK Singh, later visited some hospitals where the injured persons were undergoing treatment.
Two powerful near simultaneous bomb blasts ripped through a crowded area close to a cluster of bus stands in Dilsukhnagar area in Hyderabad on Thursday.
