RS adjourned till 1200 hrs on Nandigram issue

New Delhi, Mar 16 (UNI) The Nandigram issue rocked the Rajya Sabha again today for the second day in succession, forcing adjournment of the House for an hour.

As soon as the House assembled for the Question Hour, members from all political parties were on their feet, trading charges.

Members from the BJP, the CPI(M) and the Congress were seen shouting at one another although nothing was discernible in the din.

Chairman Bhairon Singh Shekhawat merely asked, ''what is the matter ?'' The slogan-shouting and the protests continued for three minutes after which the Chairman adjourned the House till 1200 hrs.

Before the House assembled for the Question Hour, CPI-M member Sitaram Yechuri was seen confabulating with his party workers.
