The government’s version about rules being followed during the passage of farm bills in Rajya Sabha on September 20 has been put to question by television footage of the proceedings accessed by NDTV.

The passage of the bills has been a matter of huge contention, with eight members of the opposition being suspended from the house by Rajya Sabha chairman Venkaiah Naidu, following an uproar during the proceedings.

Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh Singh and the government have justified passing the farm bills through voice vote, stating that the Opposition weren’t in their seats when they demanded for division of votes.
