NEW DELHI:

Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned for about 40 minutes after opposition MPs demanded discussions on these issues after giving notices under rule 267 seeking suspension of the day's business. The notices were rejected by deputy chairperson Harivansh. However, the issue of delimitation was brought to the fore by DMK's R Girirajan, who raised the matter during Zero Hour.
