The Rajya Sabha was adjourned for the day on Monday amid uproar over the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accusing top Congress leaders of "colluding" with billionaire investor George Soros to "destabilise" the country, news agency PTI reported. Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, who is the Chairman of the House, cautioned the members that the "functioning of the deep state affects us more perniciously than the Covid disease".

Amid uproar by treasury and opposition benches, when the Upper House re-assembled at 3 pm after three adjournments earlier in the day, Chairman Dhankhar informed that a meeting was held in his chamber between the Leader of the House and the Leader of the Opposition.
