A day after Rajya Sabha passed the two agriculture sector related bills, the chairman of Rajya Sabha suspended eight opposition leaders for "misconduct" for the remaining days of Parliament's Monsoon Session.
Eight opposition MPs suspended for remaining days of monsoon session for 'misconduct' in Rajya Sabha. Derek O'Brien, Sanjay Singh, Rajeev Satav, KK Ragesh, Syed Naseer Hussain, Ripun Bora, Dola Sen and Elamaram Kareem suspended for remaining part of the monsoon session.
Following the suspension, the opposition parties creatred ruckus forcing multiple adjournments of the House. The session was eventually adjourned till 9 am Tuesday.
"Suspension of the 8 MPs who fought to protect farmers' interests is unfortunate & reflective of this autocratic govt’s mindset that doesn’t respect democratic norms & principles. We won't bow down & we'll fight this fascist govt in Parliament & on the streets," said West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee.
"'Muting Of Democratic India' continues: by initially silencing and later, suspending MPs in the Parliament & turning a blind eye to farmers’ concerns on the black agriculture laws. This ‘omniscient’ Govt’s endless arrogance has brought economic disaster for the entire country," Congress leader Rahul Gandhi tweeted.TOI
