NEW DELHI (AP) " The speaker of India's Parliament (click here) has barred 25 opposition legislators from its sessions for the rest of the week for causing "grave disorder" after they created noisy scenes.
Parliament has been unable to conduct any business for weeks as the opposition demands that two leaders of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party resign for allegedly helping a former Indian cricket official facing investigation for financial irregularities.
On Monday speaker Sumitra Mahajan of the powerful lower house suspended the members of the Congress party. They are barred from entry the premises for the rest of the week.
While opposition lawmakers routinely delay the working of the Parliament as a form of protest, suspensions are extremely rare.
The backlash with the corruption of FIFA goes beyond the organization into the practice of sport.
