Authoritarian assault on the Indian Parliament..

The destructive anti-farmer bill, to serve the interests of big landlords and their corporate friends, was brought in the Rajya Sabha day before yesterday. It was tooth and nail opposed by the members belonging to the opposition parties. When the bill was taken for voting, the government did not have sufficient members from the ruling party and it’s allies, to pass the bill. Hence, when the opposition members demanded a division (voting) on the bill, the same was not accepted by the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. Instead, he put the bill for voice voting and announced that the bill was passed. This is nothing but murder of democracy and an attack on the Parliamentary system of this country.
