New Delhi, Mar 5 (IBNS): The Trinamool Congress (TMC) staged a protest outside the parliament as the budget session resumed on Monday, media reports said.

The TMC MPs were seen protesting against the Modi government over the bank scams that unfolded in recent times.

The primary issue of the protest was the bank scam by diamond czar Nirav Modi who allegedly failed to repay a loan of rupees 12,000 crore.

Interacting with NDTV, TMC leader Saugata Roy said the protest is not about opposition unity but the raising of voices against scams.

This was the first time the two houses of the Parliament met after the landslide victories of the BJP in Tripura and surge in the northeast belt.

Following the ruckus inside the parliament by the opposition parties, Lok Sabha has been adjourned till 12 p.m. and Rajya Sabha till 2 p.m.

Earlier in the day, BJP President Amit Shah and other BJP MPs welcomed PM Narendra Modi in Parliament House, raising slogans on the party's election victory in the north eastern states, media reported.
