Rajya Sabha Chairman attacked Chairman of the Rajya Sabha and Vice President of India, Hamid Ansari

Minutes after the historic Women's Reservation Bill was tabled on Monday, the Indian Parliament witnessed a new low. Anger over reservation for women found a soft target in the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha and Vice President of India, Hamid Ansari.

Unrepentant, these MPs found glory in violence, even hinting this is just the beginning and that there is more to come.

"I think this is how protest is done in a democracy. We were opposed to the Bill so we tore it; we raised slogans. I can tell you this much we will cross all limits of protest over this issue," said Sabir Ali, the MP who attacked the Rajya Sabha Chairman.

The government and the Opposition, though, were united in condemning the unruly MPs.

"We condemn outright the irresponsible behavior that happened in the Rajya Sabah just now, including trying to snatch the mic of the honorable the Vice President, the Chairman," BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
