New Delhi: Rajya Sabha was adjourned till noon today (August 10, 2005) after the BJP-led NDA demanded suspension of Question Hour to discuss the Nanavati report.

Chairman Bhairon Singh Shekhawat said he was adjourning the House for an hour as it could not be ascertained whether Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would be available in the House if it took up discussion immediately.

Earlier, BJP leader Sushma Swaraj said, since Home Minister Shivraj Patil was present in the House for Question Hour, the discussion on the Nanavati Commission report could start immediately and the Prime Minister could join later.

Some Congress members said it may not be possible to begin the discussion straightaway.
