NEW DELHI :  The Lok Sabha today witnessed uproar as  the Opposition led by BJP pressed for clarification over Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s statement on the coal scam, and was adjourned, for the fourth time, till 1500 hrs.
When the House re-assembled at 1400 hrs after three earlier disruptions, Dr Singh made a statement on coal scam as demanded  by the Opposition in the forenoon.
