Massive Suspension of MPs Reduces India's Parliamentary Strength by Half

Nearly 100 opposition MPs in India's Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have been suspended for unruly behavior and causing disruptions during a showdown with the Centre over a security breach in Parliament. This unprecedented action has reduced the strength of the opposition bloc INDIA by 50% in Rajya Sabha and 33% in Lok Sabha. The suspensions will significantly impair the opposition's ability to participate in the remainder of the session, leading to a political slugfest and accusations of a "murder of democracy."
