NEW DELHI: The Rajya Sabha on Sunday passed the two contentious farm bills by a voice vote amid massive uproar by the Members of Parliament and protests led by farmers in Punjab and Haryana.

The Farmers' and Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020 and Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020 were cleared in Parliament. The bills were passed in the Lok Sabha late Thursday night.

Trinamool Congress MP Derek O'Brien entered the well of the House and showed the rule book to Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh, during a discussion in the House on agriculture Bills. The ruckus was created when Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Narendra Singh Tomar was replying to the concerns raised by opposition MPs.

Opposition MPs raised slogans against the government and some also threw out the papers in the Upper House. Slogan-shouting opposition members, including those from the TMC, Congress and Left, created ruckus after Deputy Chairman did not consider their demand for a division of votes on a resolution to send the two bills to a select committee.

Earlier, Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad demanded that reply to the debate on the two bills be postponed for tomorrow as the scheduled time for sitting on Sunday was over.

The Rajya Sabha has been adjourned till 9 am tomorrow.
