(Bloomberg) -- Eight opposition lawmakers in India’s upper house of parliament were suspended for a week for “unruly behavior” that allegedly took place while the house passed two controversial agriculture-related bills on Sunday.
The motion against the lawmakers was moved by the government on Monday and approved by a voice vote in the house.
