RS adjourned till 2 PM after uproar by Cong MPs over Gujarat temple issue

Rajya Sabha was adjourned thrice till 2 PM today following uproar over Leader of the House Arun Jaitley's clarification on Congress leader Kumari Selja's remarks that she was asked about her caste in a Gujarat temple. Mr Jaitley clarified that Ms. Selja had visited the temple on 22nd of February 2013. <br/><br/>He, however, said no body in the temple had enquired about her caste. Power Minister Piyush Goel said Ms. Selja's observation was manufactured. This led to furore and women members, led by Ms. Selja trooped into the well shouting slogans. The House was adjourned first for ten minutes, then till noon and later till 2 PM.
