 NEW DELHI:Protests by the opposition against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for forming a government in Maharashtra rocked both Houses of Parliament on Monday.

Opposition members gathered at the well of the House and shouted slogans that “democracy has been murdered” in Maharashtra.

Congress MPs Hibi Eden and T N Prathapan were seen carrying a black banner that read “stop murder of democracy”. Speaker Om Birla asked them to go back to their seats. When the MPs refused to budge, Birla ordered that Eden and Prathapan be removed from the House.

When marshals tried to take Eden and Prathapan away, other Congress lawmakers joined in and there was a scuffle between the MPs and the marshals.
