NEW DELHI: India's parliament was adjourned on Monday after noisy protests by opposition lawmakers over the expulsion of top opposition figure Rahul Gandhi from the legislature.

Gandhi was stripped of his parliamentary seat last Friday in a move that critics say heightens concerns about creeping authoritarianism in the world's largest democracy.
