INDIA bloc MPs have been demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on the security breach in Parliament and revocation of the suspension of MPs.
Those suspended on Tuesday include Manish Tewari and Karti Chidambaram of Congress, NCP leader Supriya
Sule, Sudip Bandopadhyay, Dimple Yadav and Danish Ali for the remainder of the winter session of Parliament.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi, while moving a motion for the suspension of the MPs, accused the protesting members of being “frustrated” over the recent Assembly election results.
“INDIA bloc MPs have been demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on the security breach in Parliament on December 13. They had agreed not to bring placards. They are frustrated with their loss, so taking such steps. These people will not come back in the House next time if this behaviour continues,” Mr. Joshi said.
Both in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, the protesting Opposition MPs were demanding a statement from Mr. Shah on last week’s security breach in the Lok Sabha, which led to the arrest of six people.
27 queries by suspended MPs deleted from LS question list
As many as 27 questions posed by suspended Opposition members of Lok Sabha were deleted from the list of queries to be asked on Tuesday.
Similarly, the names of several suspended MPs were removed from groups of members asking the same question to various ministers.
The name of Hanuman Beniwal, who resigned from Lok Sabha after being elected as a member of the Rajasthan Assembly, was also deleted.
