On Friday, the Rajya Sabha faced multiple adjournments during its post-lunch session. The disruptions followed a morning session marked by contentious exchanges between the Opposition and treasury benches over various issues.

Earlier in the day, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar and actor-politician Jaya Bachchan were involved in a verbal confrontation. Bachchan took exception to Dhankhar's ''tone'' when granting her permission to speak, prompting the chairman to remind her that even a celebrity must adhere to House decorum.

The afternoon session saw Deputy Chairman Harivansh adjourn the House numerous times; first at 2 pm for half an hour, later at 2:30 pm until 3 pm, and finally at 3 pm until 3:30 pm, each time without providing specific reasons.
