“The Rajya Sabha is adjourned due to the unilateral approach of the chairman. The government does not want the House to function…We have given notice for the impeachment motion which is pending.

His remarks came after the Upper House of Parliament was adjourned following a ruckus over Union Health Minister J P Nadda’s remarks against Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sonia Gandhi.
Nadda had questioned Gandhi’s relationship with hedge fund tycoon George Soros.
The ruling BJP has alleged that Soros has declared an open war against the Government of India and that Gandhi was part of a group that recieved funding form his foundation.
On this, the CPI leader said, “Soros has become the sorrow of the Rajya Sabha…”.
