South Korea's National Assembly has descended into chaos after a physical standoff over attempts to fast-track key reform bills.<br />The committees for judiciary and political reform on Thursday were planning to grant fast-track status to bills on electoral reform... and on creating an independent body to investigate corruption among high-ranking government and public officials.<br />Four parties,.... without the main opposition bloc,... agreed this week to fast track the bills' legislation.<br />However, their plans have been put on hold due to fierce resistance from the Liberty Korea Party -- which blocked the conference rooms for the meetings -- saying that election law needs bipartisan agreement.<br />The ruling Democratic Party condemned the Liberty Korea Party for "illegal violence",... saying they will sue those involved.<br />It was the worst violence seen since the parliamentary act was amended in 2012 to outlaw physical violence that was long prevalent in parliament.<br />Parties are holding meetings with their lawmakers this morning... to discuss how to proceed on the matter. <br />
