Six Congress lawmakers were suspended by Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan on Monday after they grabbed files from a table and tore and threw paper. The BJP also counter attacked the Opposition with party MPs Meenakashi Lekhi and Nishikant Dubey raising the Bofor scandal. The Monsoon Session has been witnessing heated debates on several issues including farmer suicides, atrocities on Dalits, cow vigilantism, and problems arising from the Goods and Services Tax or GST. The India-China standoff in Doklam was also discussed by the Parliamentarians, with External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj assuring the House that "all countries are with India" on the issue.
