8 members of the House are suspended for a week: M Venkaiah Naidu

New Delhi: In the Rajya Sabha on Sunday, two bills related to agrarian reform were approved by voice vote amidst huge uproar and noise. However, during this time, there was so much uproar from the opposition that all the dignity of the upper house was severed. Now the sword of action is hanging on the opposition MPs who created uproar.

Venkaiah Naidu suspended 8 members for a week:

It was a bad day for Rajya Sabha yesterday when some members came to the well of the House. Deputy Chairman was physically threatened. He was obstructed from doing his duty. This is unfortunate & condemnable. I suggest to MPs, please do some introspection: Rajya Sabha Chairman
