UPROAR over BJP's allegations linking top Congress leaders with US-based billionaire investor George Soros-funded organisations involved in "anti-India" activities rocked both houses of Parliament which failed to transact any legislative business on Monday.

The BJP intensified its attack on the Congress leadership, demanding Sonia Gandhi disclose her role in a Soros Foundation-funded organisation, and ruling party chief JP Nadda called for a discussion in the Rajya Sabha on the issue, asserting it is a matter of internal and external security.

The Congress dismissed the allegations, accusing the BJP of putting at stake India's ties with another country to divert attention from the charges against Gautam Adani, and continued its protests for a JPC probe against the business tycoon.
