New Delhi: The ruckus created by the treasury benches over Monday's incident in which BJP Member S S Ahluwalia allegedly tried to disrupt Finance Minister P Chidambaram's speech, led to the adjournment of the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday till 1200 hrs.
As soon the House assembled for the day, the Congress Members rose up and demanded an apology from Ahluwalia over the incident.
Their interpretation of Ahluwalia's behaviour was strongly contested by the BJP Members and they countered it with vociferous protest.
However, all this had taken hardly two minutes then Chairman Bhairon Singh Shekhawat announced adjournment of the House till 1200 hrs.

The Lok Sabha was also adjourned till 1200 hrs IST on Monday as the Opposition remained adamant on the suspension of the Question Hour and to take up the debate on the Nandigram issue.
Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha L K Advani moved an adjournment motion on behalf of the NDA seeking the suspension of the Question Hour and discussion on the police firing at Nandigram in which 14 people were killed and 50 injured.
As the House assembled in the morning to take up the Question Hour, JD-U leader Prabhunath Singh got up demanding taking up the Nandigram matter.
Speaker Somnath Chatterjee insisted that he would allow the discussion at 1200 hrs after the Question Hour. But the Opposition members rushed into the well of the House and began shouting anti-government slogans forcing the Chair to adjourn the House.
