Rajya Sabha adjourned till noon as Opposition stalls proceedings
In India, the big group of leaders who make laws is called Parliament.
It has two parts, and one part is called the Rajya Sabha.
One morning, the leaders in the Rajya Sabha could not do their work.
Some leaders called the Opposition were shouting slogans.
They wanted the Home Minister, Mr. Amit Shah, to come and talk about something.
Some students had protested because they were upset about a big medical exam called NEET.
The police took action during that protest, and the Opposition wanted to ask Mr. Shah about it.
The Opposition also wanted to talk about money donated to a famous temple called the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, saying some of it may have been stolen.
Because of all the shouting, the meeting was paused until 12 o'clock noon.
This has been happening a lot since the session started on July 20.
Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 12 noon on Monday, Aug 10, after Opposition MPs shouted slogans and disrupted the House.
