The Rajya Sabha was adjourned today till 2 30PM with Opposition members sticking to their demand that Prime Minister should be present in the House and apologize for his reported remarks against them on demonetization.<br/><br/>This was countered by BJP members by raising slogans. When Chairman Hamid Ansari tried to take up Question Hour, opposition members trooped into the well. Mr Ansari observed that the agitating members should raise slogans on the streets and not in the House. He adjourned the House as noisy scenes prevailed. <br/><br/>Earlier, the government made it clear that there was no political motive behind deployment of Army at toll plazas in West Bengal yesterday and it was a part of routine annual exercise being carried in several states since last month.
