NEW DELHI: There was no let-up in the acrimony between the government and the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, with both sides hardening their stance—the government demanding an explanation on Congress leaderships alleged links with billionaire George Soros and the Opposition demanding a probe into the allegations of wrongdoing against the Adani Group.

RS impasse continues as MPs refuse to relent

On Thursday, while the government condemned the Opposition's move to submit a notice for motion to replace Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, the Opposition stuck to its "partisan" charge against the chair, precipitating multiple adjournments.
