The Rajya Sabha was on Tuesday adjourned four times amid protests from the opposition over delay in filling up of vacancies in the statutory commission for minorities, SCs, STs and OBCs.
Soon after the House assembled for the day, the proceedings were adjourned first for 10 minutes till 11.25 a.m.
When the House reconvened, Union Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu said the process for filling vacancies was on. However, opposition members continued their protest so the House was adjourned for the second time till 12 noon.
Later, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned for the third time till 12.30 p.m, and again for the fourth time till 2 p.m. --IANS
