Some context for this? In 1960, Japanese Prime Minister Kishi "had opposing Diet members forcibly removed from the legislative chamber and rammed through a favorable vote"

by Nessie

A recent Salon article made the following claim:

"Kiishi’s key moment came in the spring of 1960. The Japanese public and much of the Diet were in an uproar over a new security treaty with Washington, known as ANPO; Kiishi had already signed it but still needed parliamentary ratification. Late in the evening of May 19, Kiishi had opposing Diet members forcibly removed from the legislative chamber and rammed through a favorable vote on ANPO with the minority that supported it."

It sounds like there must be more to it than that.

I'm not sure what specific context you're looking for. Japan in the 1950s was incredily polarized between right and left wing movements. The latter vehemently opposed to the renewal of security treaty because of the dangers of dragging Japan into America's overseas wars in violation of the peace constitution.
