New Delhi, Nov 24 (IANS) The Rajya Sabha was adjourned till noon Tuesday over demands from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that the Rs.2,500 crore money laundering scam allegedly involving former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda be discussed.
As the house reconvened at 11.15 a.m. after an earlier adjournment, BJP leader M. Venkaiah Naidu demanded a discussion on the Koda scam.
“This is a very serious burning issue. There is massive fraud in Jharkhand, this requires the attention of the house,” said Naidu.
As Naidu was speaking, Congress members started shouting, creating uproar in the house. Soon, the BJP members approached Chairman Hamid Ansari’s podium raising slogans.
