NEW DELHI: India's parliament was adjourned twice on Monday (Mar 26) after lawmakers held rowdy protests and threw paper at the speaker following the expulsion from the house

Gandhi lost his parliamentary seat on Friday after being convicted in a case that critics say shows how the rule of law is under threat in the world's largest democracy under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

It was the latest in a string of stoppages in recent weeks in India's often raucous parliament among lawmakers representing India's 1.4 billion people. Debates have also descended into shouting matches over comments made by Gandhi in Britain in early March that Indian democracy is"under attack".
