Overwhelming anti-riot police, protesters broke into Parliament buildings and set part of them on fire.
The Finance Bill, 2024, which MPs passed on Tuesday with 195 votes in favor and 106 against, is opposed by the multitudes of protesters.
Reports state that several protestors were shot outside of Parliament after the demonstrators tore down the national flag inside the Parliament premises.
There have also been reports of a stampede within Parliament as lawmakers fled to safety.
While police stand watch and await reinforcement and evacuation, a few lawmakers have taken up residence in the Parliament building’s subterranean parking lot.
