The Rajya Sabha is adjourned after proceedings are disrupted by a dispute involving CPI(M) MP John Brittas and BJP MP Sushmita Dev. Brittas alleges that Dev used the term “lungiwala” in reference to him during a debate, prompting objections and heightened tensions on the floor.

As the disruption continues, Dev denies making any disparaging comment. The chair intervenes, emphasizing respect for regional identities. The presiding authority also calls for members to maintain decorum and summons MPs for discussion to address the matter before the House can resume.
