The Rajya Sabha was adjourned till noon Tuesday following protests by BJP members who demanded suspension of question hour to discuss the purportedly illegal land deals of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra.

As soon as the house met at 11 a.m., Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members demanded a discussion on IAS officer Ashok Khemka's allegations in land deals involving Vadra.

The BJP's Prakash Javadekar had served notice demanding suspension of question hour in the house.

The repeated for order by Chairperson Hamid Ansari went unheard as BJP members continued their protests.

"Every single rule, every single etiquette is being violated. If the honourable members want this to become a federation of anarchists then a different thing," said Ansari.

The house was adjourned till noon.
