TMC leader Saket Gokhale alleged on Wednesday that during his conversation with Piyush Goyal, the Union Minister told him that it would “look bad” for the party if there were zero Opposition MPs left. However, even the remaining small bunch of INDIA MPs “will be suspended before the criminal law Bills are tabled by the Union Home Minister.”
“I hate to disclose a private, informal conversation, but this is what happened yesterday, and it’s devious. I asked Piyush Goyal why the small bunch of us remaining INDIA MPs weren’t being suspended in the Rajya Sabha despite protesting in the well. Because 46 of our INDIA colleagues got instantly suspended for the same thing a day earlier,” Gokhale said on X.
The TMC spokesperson further stated, “He said, ‘Because if there’s zero Opposition MPs left, it looks bad for us.’ But then he added, ‘Don’t worry, you’ll all be suspended before Amit Shah ji comes to the Rajya Sabha to table the criminal law Bills.’ This is what our Parliament has now become reduced to under Modi’s orders.” The post read.
