Both houses of Indian parliament were suspended on Monday after disruptions by opposition groups demanding a discussion on bribery allegations against the Adani Group and communal tensions in a northern town.

Parliament was similarly adjourned for all of last week as opposition parties, led by the main opposition Congress, demanded a discussion on the indictment of Adani chair Gautam Adani by U.S. authorities.
