Home Minister P Chidambaram today again came under attack in Parliament for his alleged role in allocation of 2G spectrum and BJP's charge that he had misused office in helping a Delhi-based hotelier.

Both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha witnessed uproar by the main opposition on the issue.

Soon after the Rajya Sabha mourned the deaths in southern Philippines due to cyclone, Chandan Mitra (BJP) raised the issue of Chidambaram allegedly helping his former client.

The Rajya Sabha was adjourned for the day at 3 pm after repeated adjournments earlier in the day.

The BJP had given a notice for taking up the issue during Zero Hour and uproarious scenes were witnessed when it was not taken up.

Members of Left parties also raised the issue of Chidambaram's statement on Mullaperiyar Dam and came to the Well.

In the Lok Sabha, BJP raised during Zero Hour Chidambaram's alleged role in the 2G spectrum scam case.

BJP leader Yashwant Sinha demanding that a Privilege Motion against the minister be accepted. He was strongly supported by many members of his party.

Speaker Meira Kumar said, "I have received the notice. I will consider it and come back to you."

Amid heated exchanges between Congress and BJP members, Sinha sought the Chair's permission to "place facts (regarding his notice) before the House" but Kumar did not allow him to speak, saying he had not given any notice.

Earlier during Question Hour, the entire NDA benches rose in unison every time Chidambaram got up to reply. However, an unfazed Home Minister answered all the supplementaries put to him by members in connection with two questions listed for the Question Hour in the Lok Sabha.
