Farm Bill Chaos, 8 MPs Suspended: Legitimate Voice Vote Or Forced Legislation?
A day after unprecedented chaos in the Rajya Sabha where the farm bills were passed by a voice vote, 8 Rajya Sabha MPs have been suspended by Chairperson Venkaiah Naidu. The call by the opposition for a non-confidence motion against the Deputy Chairperson has been rejected. Opposition leaders, who have now appealed to the President, have said the government rammed legislation down their throats. Prime Minister Narendra Modi says it was his goal to give farmers the freedom that they deserved.
