Rajya Sabha adjourned till noon

Rajya Sabha was today adjourned till noon after vociferous protests from BJP and TDP members over naming of their party colleagues in the House bulletin for disrupting proceedings.
M Venkaiah Naidu (BJP) raised the issue of Rajya Sabha Bulletin listing yesterday's proceedings of the House, naming 20 members of the BJP and 2 of TDP for disrupting proceedings.
He said such naming of members in the House had never happened even when members from the ruling parties tore women's reservation legislation.
"Why this discrimination? What is the rule? Naming of members of one party and showing discrimination (against others) is not acceptable. We denounce it," he said, adding the Bulletin had not named members of the ruling party who too had disrupted the proceedings over creation of Telangana.

"What is this practice? Who decided this?" he asked. "This is an insult and discrimination against main opposition party. This is infringement of our rights. I don't know if it has happened with your (Chairman Hamid Ansari's) knowledge."
He asked why the name of a Congress member, who too was in the Well yesterday, does not figure in the Bulletin.

All this while, Y S Chowdary and C M Ramesh (TDP), who had been named in the Bulletin of yesterday as well as of August 6 for "disorderly conduct in violation of rules and etiquettes of Rajya Sabha", stood in the Well with a black cloth on their mouth.

Leader of the Opposition Arun Jaitley said never had expression of protests by several sections of the House figured in Rajya Sabha Bulletin.
He said the Bulletin did not name the ruling party member who menacingly marched towards a member of the supporting party and another member who was in the Well over Telangana issue.
Ansari said the issue can be discussed in his Chamber.
But, this did not satisfy Jaitley who along with other members of his party staged a walkout.
