Amid continues ruckus by Opposition MPs on Friday, the Rajya Sabha has been adjourned till 11 am tomorrow.

Earlier in the day. the Opposition MPs in Rajya Sabha stormed the well of the House over the Pegasus Project media report and raised slogans of 'Disclose Pegasus'.

Amid the ongoing farmers' protest against the new Agri laws, Congress Parliamentarian Deepender Singh Hooda on Friday moved a 'suspension of business' notice in Rajya Sabha.

In the notice, Hooda stated, "The House to discuss the extraordinary situation that has risen over the passing of the Farm Bills by the Government of India in September 2020."

He stated that lakhs of farmers have been protesting at the borders of the national capital for almost eight months and have braved the winter, summer and are now out in the open during the monsoons.

Hooda's notice mentioned that as per farmer organisations, more than 500 people have lost their lives during the protests.

"As a democracy, our Parliament represents the will of our people, and as representatives of the people, it is our duty to raise their issues in the temple of democracy. I, therefore, urge you to suspend the business of the House so that the issue can be discussed in Rajya Sabha," it added.

On Thursday also the House faced multiple adjournments.

On Wednesday, six TMC MPs were suspended from the Rajya Sabha after they created ruckus in the morning over the Pegasus spying issue.

The business of both the Houses of the Parliament remained majorly disrupted due to the continuous ruckus created by the Opposition over the issues including farmers' protest, Pegasus spyware, COVID-19 and inflation.

The Monsoon Session commenced on July 19 and is scheduled to continue till August 13.
