Rajya Sabha proceedings adjourned till March 13 amid uproar by opposition MPs
Soon after the listed papers were laid on the Table of the House, members of the opposition party insisted that the Speaker allow Leader of the Opposition and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge to speak in the House.
The Rajya Sabha was adjourned on Monday till March 13 following continuous disruptions by opposition members on the Gautam Adani-Hindenburg report issue.
Rajya Sabha proceedings were briefly adjourned on Monday as opposition parties raised slogans demanding revocation of suspension of Congress MP Rajni Patil and setting up of a JPC to probe allegations against the Adani group.
Soon after the listed papers were laid on the Table of the House, members of the opposition party insisted that the Speaker allow Leader of the Opposition and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge to speak in the House.
When Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar allowed Kharge to speak, several members of the ruling party started raising slogans.
However, the remarks made by Kharge were expunged by the Speaker from the House.
Meanwhile, MPs from opposition parties also raised slogans demanding revocation of Patil's suspension and many of them came to the Well of the House.
Patil was suspended from the House for the rest of the budget session for airing an unauthorized video of the proceedings of the House.
As the sloganeering continued, Union Minister and Leader of the House Piyush Goyal suggested that the Speaker adjourn the House briefly and speak to the protesting members.
