The Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were adjourned shortly within start of proceedings as opposing MPs were on their feet, shouting slogans and gathering near the presiding officers' podiums.
No business has been conducted in either house since Nov 22, day one of the winter session, slated to discuss important bills, including the anti-graft Lokpal bill.
Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar is likely to call a meeting of opposition leaders later to end the logjam, triggered by various issues, including inflation, statehood for Telangana and now the FDI controversy.
The cabinet approved 51 percent FDI in multi-brand retail and 100 percent in single brand retail.
