The protests by the Opposition, which have washed out a week’s business in the Monsoon Session already, are expected to continue today, even as a record 19 Rajya Sabha MPs were suspended for this week for creating ruckus.
The protests to press for an immediate discussion on price rise and levy of GST on essential items are likely to continue today, the eighth day of the Session.
The suspension of 19 Rajya Sabha MPS for creating a ruckus in the Upper House is likely to further intensify the standoff between the Opposition and the government, which insisted that the discussion will be held once Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman recovers from COVID-19.
