Rajya Sabha adjourned till 2 pm

New Delhi, Mar 27 (PTI) Rajya Sabha proceedings were on Monday adjourned in the pre-lunch session as opposition MPs created a ruckus over the Adani issue.

Dressed in black clothes, the MPs of the Congress and other parties began shouting slogans even before Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar took his seat. Sensing the mood, Dhankhar adjourned the proceedings till 2 pm.

The opposition MPs came wearing black clothes, considered a mark of protest, to oppose the disqualification of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as Lok Sabha MP.

“Modi-Adani bhai, bhai,” they shouted, targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

They also raised slogans demanding a probe by a joint parliamentary committee into allegations of corporate fraud and stock price manipulations against the Adani Group.

Adani Group has denied all charges.
