TL;DR Summary

The Indian government has suspended 141 opposition MPs, the largest number in history, after they protested against a recent security breach at the parliamentary premises. The ruling Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) government has been accused of attacking democracy and creating anarchy. Opposition MPs have been calling for the prime minister and home minister to address parliament about the incident, but the debate has been refused. Critics argue that the government has been undermining parliamentary democracy since coming to power in 2014, with opposition parties and critical MPs facing harassment and criminal investigations.
