The Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 2 p.m. following an uproar created by opposition parties on Wednesday.
Earlier, during the Zero Hour, the house adopted the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill, 2014, moved by the Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment.
The house adopted the bill after members of various parties spoke on it.
Subsequently, Deputy Chairman P.J. Kurien told the members that the remaining part of the amendments will be taken up at 2 p.m.
Soon after, the opposition members created ruckus in the house, but because of the noise it was not clear what issue they were raising.
Amid the din, Chairman Hamid Ansari adjourned the house till 2 p.m.
