New Delhi: Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the day soon after the House assembled for the post-lunch session on Friday as the Opposition continued protest over various issues, including NEET paper leak and introduction of The Prevention of Insults To National Honour (Amendment) Bill, 2026.
The Upper House has not been able to conduct any substantial business since Monday — the first day of monsoon session.
As the House assembled at 2 pm after two adjournments earlier in the day, Deputy Chairman Harivansh asked Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai to introduce The Prevention of Insults To National Honour (Amendment) Bill, 2026.
Opposition members, particularly from Left parties, opposed the introduction of the bill.
However, the proposed legislation was introduced after a voice vote.
As the Chairman urged the House to start discussion on the bill, the Opposition created an uproar, leading to adjournment of the House.
The Upper House will meet next on Monday.
The Rajya Sabha witnessed two adjournments in the morning session over the NEET paper leak issue and police action on protesters with the Opposition demanding resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
