<h1>Political Tensions Boil Over: 18 Opposition Legislators Suspended for Protesting Muslim Reservation Policy</h1> Political tension escalated in Karnataka after the ruling party suspended 18 opposition party legislators for six months. The opposition party petitioned the Governor, claiming the suspension was undemocratic and unconstitutional.
