Rajya Sabha proceedings adjourned till noon amid slogan-shouting by Opposition on various issues

New Delhi, Aug 6: Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned till noon amid slogan-shouting by the Opposition party members.

Soon after the listed papers were tabled, Chairman C P Radhakrishnan went ahead with Zero Hour proceedings, but Congress members demanded that Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge should be allowed to speak.

As the Chair called members to raise their Zero Hour mentions, Congress and members from some other Opposition parties started raising slogans on various issues.

The Chair repeatedly asked protesting members to return to their seats.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju also objected to continuous protests by the Opposition.

Later, the Chair allowed Kharge to raise his point.

However, Treasury bench members objected to it and the Chair, at around 11.25 am, adjourned the proceedings till noon. (PTI)
