  NEW DELHI: The Lok Sabha was on Monday abruptly adjourned after 
protests over alleged attacks on a Christian mission in Rajasthan.

  Speaker Somnath Chatterjee adjourned the house after Bharatiya 
Janata Party (BJP) members protested when Left MPs raised the issue 
during zero hour. The BJP is in power in Rajasthan.

  Suresh Kurup of the Communist Party of India-Marxist said five of 
his colleagues had visited Kota in Rajasthan and found there has been 
a systematic campaign against the Emanuel Mission Institution there 
for the last three weeks.

  According to Kurup, the state government had frozen the mission's 
bank accounts, resulting in a shortage of food for the children 
lodged there.

  But the BJP MPs protested against the remark, and Chatterjee 
adjourned the house after his repeated pleas to restore order were 
ignored.

  The mission runs orphanages all across Rajasthan.
