Lok Sabha was adjourned for the third time this afternoon when SP, RJD and JD(U) members trooped into the well protesting the Women's Reservation Bill in its present form. When the House, which was earlier adjourned twice on the same issue, reassembled at 1400 hours, members of these
parties led by RJD chief Lalu Prasad, SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and JD(U) President Sharad Yadav, stormed the well shouting slogans.

As the slogan-shouting continued, Trinamool Congress members including its chief and Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee, were seen singing the famous song -- "We shall overcome some day".

Other Trinamool members, including Minister of State for Health Dinesh Trivedi, chief whip Sudip Bandopadhyay and cine-star turned MP Shatabdi Roy, were heard singing the song in the House.
As the din continued, Deputy Speaker Karia Munda adjourned the House till 1500 hours.
