December 13, 2025

THE Rajya Sabha on Friday saw an unusual brief adjournment as no cabinet minister was present in the House when the session began.

- RAJESH KUMAR THAKUR @NewDethi

The proceedings were halted for 10 minutes after the Opposition raised the absence of any cabinet minister.

Shortly after the Upper House paid homage to those who foiled the terror attack on Parliament on December 13, 2001, Opposition MPs pointed out that no cabinet minister was present.
