New Delhi, Aug 5 (IBNS): Amid uproar over the UPSC issue, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned till noon on Tuesday after MPs rushed to the Well of the House.

Opposition cornered the government over alleged ‘language discrimination’ in civil services exam stepping up their attacks demanding clarity in the UPSC topic.

While DMK MPs demanded other Indian languages to be included in the UPSC exam Samajwadi Party (SP) said they would not let the house function as solution given by the government is unacceptable.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), however, said that other Indian languages will be given their due place too.

Blaming the Congress, they said the UPSC row was created by the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is committee to finding a solution now.
