The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has denounced the suspension of eight Rajya Sabha MPs, with its leader and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee calling the action reflective of the "autocratic mindset" of the government.

Accusing the BJP of killing democracy, the Trinamool Congress chief declared she will fight the "fascist" government in Parliament and on streets.

"Suspension of the 8 MPs who fought to protect farmers interests is unfortunate & reflective of this autocratic Govts mindset that doesn't respect democratic norms and principles. We won't bow down and we'll fight this fascist Govt in Parliament and on the streets. #BJPKilledDemocracy," she tweeted.
