The action against the 19 Rajya Sabha MPs would likely escalate the opposition’s outrage against the government over what they claim was an attempt to silence voices.
New Delhi: Nineteen MPs of the opposition have been suspended from Rajya Sabha for the rest of the week for disrupting the session today.
Sushmita Dev, Mausam Noor, Dr Santanu Sen, Dola Sen, Santanu Sen, Nadimal Haque, Abhi Ranjan Biswas, and Shanta Chhetri are the Trinamool Congress MPs who have been suspended. A. A Rahim of the CPI-M, Mohammad Abdullah of Left, and DMK’s Kanimozhi are among those who have been suspended.
The latest round of suspension comes a day after four Congress MPs in Lok Sabha were dealt with similar action for the entire monsoon session, ending August 12, for holding placards inside the house despite warnings by Speaker Om Birla to behave.
The house was adjourned for an hour today after the suspended opposition MPs did not leave and continued to protest.
