Rajya Sabha Adjourned Amid Opposition Protests
The Rajya Sabha, the upper house of India's Parliament, had to stop its meetings because the people who are not in the government were very upset.
They were protesting about a few different things, like how some voter lists might have errors.
They wanted to talk about these issues, but the person in charge wouldn't let them right away.
Because of all the noise and disagreement, the meetings were cut short for the day, and now they will continue on Monday.
Rajya Sabha proceedings adjourned due to Opposition protests.
Protests stemmed from issues including Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and alleged "vote theft".
Opposition MPs demanded discussion on the Karnataka voter rolls issue and the Bihar SIR issue.
The Chair, after laying papers, rejected notices under Rule 267.
The Rajya Sabha will reconvene on Monday.
