Govt pushes through farm bills amid ruckus

Amid unruly and aggressive protests by opposition members, the Rajya Sabha on Sunday passed by voice vote two contentious farm bills that were earlier approved by the Lower House. The two bills will now be sent to the President for his assent. The bill was opposed by BJP's estranged ally, the Shiromani Akali Dal, TRS and BJD which, in a rare instance, decided to vote "no".
