New Delhi, Dec 16 The Opposition, on Thursday, forced adjournment of Rajya Sabha after Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu rejected suspension notices given under rule 267.
Congress MP Deepender Hooda and Sushmita Dev of TMC had given notices to discuss the Lakhimpur incident but were disallowed.

At this, Leader of the House Piyush Goyal had sought an apology from the suspended MPs. Even after attacking marshals and misbehaving with the female marshals and senior Opposition members are unrepentant, he alleged.
"The government is ready to consider their request provided they apologise," he added.
