Rajya Sabha was adjourned twice on Thursday following an uproar over the attack on Rashtriya Janata Dal chief and Union Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav [ Images ] near Vadodara by suspected Sangh Parivar activists.

Trouble broke out when RJD members supported by the Congress protested what they termed as pre-meditated conspiracy against the railway minister, who had gone to Samalaya in connection with a train accident.

With the Bharatiya Janata Party [ Images ] benches vehemently countering the allegation, the House was in turmoil in the post-lunch session. It was subsequently adjourned for 30 minutes.

Santosh Bagrodia (Congress) demanded the removal of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi [ Images ] for having failed to provide security to a Union Cabinet Minister.

When the House re-assembled, the furore continued despite repeated requests from Deputy Chairman of the House, K Rehman Khan, to allow the proceedings to continue.

The House was then adjourned till Monday.
