Amid ruckus from the MPs over various issues, including price rise, the Rajya Sabha was on Tuesday adjourned briefly for around 15 minutes during the Question Hour, the second time in the day.

During the monsoon session, the members of the AAP and the TMC entered the Well and created an uproar, holding placards and raising slogans against the Central government.

Several MPs from the Opposition have been demanding an urgent discussion under Rule 267 on price rise and GST hike for the past many days, leading to disruptions in the House.

Notably, the Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned twice during the pre-lunch sitting on Tuesday due to the ruckus created by the Opposition.
