New Delhi: For the first time since the Winter session began on November 16, the Rajya Sabha yesterday saw a legislative action as it passed the Disabilities Bill. But it was adjourned twice following protests over the controversy involving Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju. Opposition members shouted slogans and indulged in heated exchanges with BJP members over the alleged misuse of office by Rijiju with regard to a Rs 450-cr power project scam in Arunachal Pradesh, besides also raising anti-government slogans on the demonetisation issue.
