India’s parliament adjourned after protests over Gandhi expulsion FMTNews FMTWorld
NEW DELHI: India’s parliament was adjourned twice today after lawmakers held rowdy protests and threw paper at the speaker following the expulsion from the house of top opposition figure Rahul Gandhi.
It was the latest in a string of stoppages in recent weeks in India’s often raucous parliament among lawmakers representing India’s 1.4 billion people. Opposition lawmakers from different parties also staged protests in New Delhi, the latest in a series of recent demonstrations. The lower house of parliament ruled Gandhi ineligible to sit as an MP on Friday, a day after he was sentenced to two years for defamation. He is appealing.
A BJP spokesman said Thursday the court acted with “due judicial process” in arriving at its ruling in the case, one of several Gandhi is facing.
