Disruptive’ Indian MPs suspended over women’s bill

Updated - 9/3/2010 - bbc.co.uk.

 

Seven Indian MPs have been suspended by Vice President Hamid Ansari for disrupting proceedings in the upper house (Rajya Sabha) on Monday.

The MPs had shouted slogans, snatched papers from Mr Ansari’s table, torn them and thrown them at him.

They were angry at the reintroduction of a bill to reserve a third of all seats in the national parliament and state legislatures for women.

On Monday voting in the upper house was delayed after protests from opponents.

The bill was first proposed in 1996 but never passed. But this time it has the backing of India’s main parties.

At present women make up just 10% of the lower house of parliament, and significantly less in state assemblies.
