New Delhi, Dec 19 (UNI)- Forty-nine Lok Sabha MPs, including NC leader Farooq Abdullah, Congress leaders Shashi Tharoor, Manish Tewari, Karti Chidambaram, and NCP’s Supriya Sule, were suspended for disrupting House proceedings on Tuesday.
With this, a total of 141 MPs have now been suspended in this winter session of Parliament – 95 from the Lok Sabha and 46 from the Rajya Sabha.
On Tuesday, opposition MPs in Lok Sabha, including Supriya Sule, Manish Tewari, Shashi Tharoor, Md Faisal, Karti Chidambaram, Sudip Bandhopadhyay, Dimple Yadav, and Danish Ali, were suspended for the remainder of the winter session of Parliament.
Due to the repeated disruptions, Lok Sabha was adjourned until 1400 hours. The opposition MPs continued their protests over their colleagues’ suspension and pressing for a statement from PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah on the Parliament security breach.
They showed placards and shouted slogans like, “PM sadan mein aao” and “Gruh mantri istifa” (Home Minister resign).”
Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, who was himself suspended on Monday, said, “It is nothing but anarchy inside Parliament. They do not have an iota of faith in the parliamentary system in our country.”
“This is ultimately the failure of the government,” said Samajwadi Party Lok Sabha MP Dimple Yadav. Congress leader Shashi Tharoor said he and his party colleagues were unjustly suspended from the Lok Sabha for demanding accountability from the government.
“For the first time in my parliamentary career of nearly 15 years, I too entered the well of the House holding a placard calling for a discussion on the recent security breach,” he said on X. On Monday, 33 MPs were suspended on the charge of violating the House’s dignity with their ‘unruly’ protests.
