Rajya Sabha was adjourned on Wednesday for 15 minutes as AIADMK members continued their protest and slogan-shouting over Cauvery river water issue.

When the House re-assembled at 11.40 am, it was adjourned again till noon.

The AIADMK members trooped into the well of the House over the construction of dam on Cauvery river. They were shouting slogans like "we want justice".

Congress members were on their feet demanding a probe into Rafale jet deal by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC).

As soon as the important papers were laid on the table by ministers and other members, Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu appealed to members for smooth functioning of the House as only four working days were left in the current Winter Session.

He said many Bills and discussions on important matters are pending.
