Rajya Sabha proceedings were disrupted on Monday amid uproar by Opposition members over skyrocketing fuel prices in the country.

Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjuna Kharge gave a notice for suspension of business to discuss "huge and frequent increase in prices of petrol, diesel and LPG even when global prices are ruling low."

Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu did not allow the discussion and kept asking members to go back to their seats and not deprive members from the Question Hour. However, Opposition members kept shouting.

The second part of the Budget session of Parliament began on Monday and is scheduled to conclude on April 8.
