Agitated over the Supreme  Court’s  ruling  in rejecting the petition filed by the Andhra Pradesh Government on the issue of  Free Zone, the Opposition, Telugu Desam Party, Communist  Party of India PI, CPI(M) and Bharatiya  Janata  Party  moved adjournment  motions in the Assembly on Wednesday, pressing for setting aside of the listed business and  taking up of a discussion on this  important issue.

The House was adjourned for over 15 minutes as the TDP stalled the proceedings demanding an amendment to the Constitution to circumvent Supreme Court ruling treating Hyderabad as 'free zone' on the matters of employment.
