The Rajya Sabha was adjourned till noon on the issue of demonetisation on Thursday, soon after it met for the day.
After the House assembled at 11 a m., the MPs from the treasury started taunting Leader of Opposition Gulam Nabi Azad, saying the opposition levels allegations against the government and when the government tries to respond, they do not listen.
Chairman Mohmmad Hamid Ansari told them that it was a established practice in the House that either of the Leader of House or the Leader of Opposition is allowed to speak as and when he wants.
"This is an established practiced...let's adhere to it," he said, urging the government MPs to listen to Azad.
The House was adjourned till noon after the Chairman's pleas went unheard.
