The House was adjourned for 10 minutes soon after it met for the day when Ali Anwar (JD-U) created a ruckus over alleged leakage of the Ranganath Misra Committee report on reservation to dalit Christians and dalit Muslims.
Anwar said the report has been published in a newspaper and sought Government's response.
Chairman Hamid Ansari said he could raise the issue during zero hour but the Question Hour should not be disrupted.
As the member did not relent, Ansari adjourned the House for 10 minutes and called leaders of all parties to his chamber for discussion.
When the House reassembled, M Venkaiah Naidu (BJP) raised the issue of a "massive fraud and scam" in Jharkhand saying the man in the dock, Madhu Koda, was propelled by Congress to the chair of the chief minister of the state.
"The person (Koda) needs to be put behind the bars immediately and the issue discussed in the House," he said.
Naidu also said the Liberhan Commission report on the Babri Masjid demolition was "leaked" to divert attention from the Jharkhand scam. His comment was vociferously countered by ruling benches, prompting BJP members to raise slogans.
In the din, Ansari said, "I am afraid that members are not willing to abide by the agreement made" and adjourned the House till 1200 noon - the second adjournment during the pre- lunch sitting.
