146 Opposition MPs were suspended across days for both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha for 'unruly behaviour' and 'misconduct'. The government said they had broken rules by holding placards in the House and coming to the well. Opposition leaders have called it a 'murder of democracy' and accused the government of running an 'opposition-less' Parliament. Some key bills were cleared by both Houses amid the mayhem.
On The India Story this week, Vikram Chandra speaks to PDT Achary, a former Lok Sabha Secretary General to understand the rules behind suspension of MPs and what the incidents in Parliament this week mean for its future.
