Opposition parties hold protest on Parliament premises

After the suspension of eight rajya sabha MPs on monday the opposition parties hit out at the government and are holding a protest outside the Parliament premises. Opposition parties like the Congress, CPI(M), Shiv Sena, JDS, TMC, CPI, and the Samajwadi Party are holding a protest on the Parliament premises with placards that read "Murder of Democracy", "Death of Parliament" and "Shame, shame".
Eight members from the Congress, CPI(M), Trinamool Congress and the AAP were suspended for the remaining part of the monsoon session over their "unruly behaviour" during the passage of farm bills in the Upper House of Parliament.
CPI(M) MP Elamaram Kareem, who is among those suspended said, "Suspension won't silence us. We will stand with farmers in their fight. Deputy chairman throttled parliamentary procedures yesterday. Suspension of MPs exposed the cowardly face of the BJP. People will see through the attempt to divert attention from their undemocratic actions."
"Wake up crores of farmers of the country, the BJP government has mortgaged your life to Adani-Ambani, wake up and oppose this black law. We are on agitation in Parliament, you should agitate outside. The BJP government has passed a black law against farmers. We were terminated for opposing the bill," said AAP MP Sanjay Singh.
"That is why we are sitting on dharna and will keep sitting till the BJP government explains why this black law was passed by strangling democracy," he added.
A number of non-NDA parties have also written to President Ram Nath Kovid over the manner in which the government “pushed through its agenda” and urged him not to grant his assent to the proposed legislation.
