Rajya Sabha was today adjourned for 15 minutes following uproar by SP and JD-U members over charges against Narendra Modi by jailed IPS officer D G Vanzara.
SP and JD-U members were on their feet shouting slogans the moment the House met for the day.
Deputy Chairman P J Kurein asked them to take their seats so that a reference could be read out to pay tributes to former President and Rajya Sabha's first Chairman Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan.
After the reference, they moved into the aisles demanding that their notice for discussion on the issue be taken up.
Members countinued to shout out Vanzara's name, even though P J Kurein requested them to speak one at a time.
The House was finally adjourned for 15 minutes.
Vanzara slammed Chief Minister Narendra Modi and accused his government of failing to protect jailed police officers who fought against "Pakistan-inspired terrorism".
