Rajya Sabha proceedings adjourned till 2 pm amid uproar
New Delhi (PTI): Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 2 pm on Thursday amid sloganeering after BJP president J P Nadda attacked the Congress for questioning the ruling given by the Chairman and the party's alleged nexus with US hedge fund tycoon George Soros.
After laying of listed papers and reports during the pre-noon session, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar rejected six notices to adjourn the scheduled business of the day and take up matters mentioned in the notices.
As several members from the opposition benches raised objections, Nadda criticised Congress president and Leader of the Opposition in the House Mallikarjun Kharge for holding a press conference and criticising the Chairman.
The Chair cannot be "questioned" with regards to admissibility and for other purposes, Nadda said.
"The Chairman's ruling cannot be questioned or criticised. To do so is contempt of the House and the Chairman," the senior BJP leader said.
Nadda reiterated the allegation of a link between the Congress and Soros, and alleged that he has been providing billions of dollars to destabilise India.
"What is the relationship between Sonia Gandhi and Soros. The country wants to know," he said.
This triggered further uproar in the House.
Chairman Dhankhar gave floor to Kharge to respond.
Kharge said the ruling party wants to "divert attention" from issues.
As members from both treasury and opposition benches were raising slogans, the Chair adjourned the proceedings till 2 pm.

If there was a strong justice system, Modi-Yogi would have been in jail: Shankaracharya
Subramanian Swamy agrees with Shankaracharya's statement calling him 'the fearless Jagatguru'
New Delhi: Jagadguru Shankaracharya Nischalananda Saraswati of Puri Peeth criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath, claiming that a strong judicial system in India would have imprisoned both Modi and Yogi. He accused them of appointing a "terrorist" as a Shankaracharya, and questioned as to what can be a bigger crime.
Speaking to the media in Ujjain after attending the Dharmasabha organised by the Shri Mahakaleshwar Temple Management Committee, the Shankaracharya questioned the accountability of the country's leadership. “A terrorist is being paraded as a Shankaracharya. Is this the duty of the Prime Minister and Chief Minister? There is no judicial system in India capable of punishing them for this,” he remarked.
When asked about his interactions with PM Modi, he revealed that the Prime Minister had once visited him during his trip to Gujarat.
BJP leader Subramanian Swamy supported the Shankaracharya's remarks, calling him "The Fearless Jagatguru" in a post on X (formerly Twitter). Swamy, a known critic of the Modi government, recently referred to the Prime Minister as a "liar" and expressed regret for backing him during the 2014 elections.
Shankaracharya had spent three days at Ujjain’s Jhalariya Math on Narasimha Ghat before addressing the media and departing for Puri.
