The Rajya Sabha was adjourned twice during Question Hour after uproar by AIADMK over a "derogatory" article on Sri Lankan defence ministry website.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Friday accused Sri Lanka of trying to create fissures in India's federal polity as she demanded an unconditional apology from Colombo for the insinuations against her.

In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi hours after the controversy broke out, leading to a furore in Tamil Nadu's political circles, she said that it also depicted him in a 'disrespectful manner.'

She said it was brought to her notice that the article, titled 'How meaningful are Jayalalithaa's love letters to Narendra Modi' had been published in the website of the ministry of defence and urban development of Sri Lanka.
