Amid massive protests and slogans of ‘PM sadan me aao, Amit Shah sharam karo’ in both Houses raised by the opposition against the major security lapse on Wednesday, Rajya Sabha adopted a motion to suspend TMC MP Derek O’Brien for the remainder of the session for his alleged misconduct amid the uproar.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar called O’Brien’s behavior ignoble misconduct and a shameful incident, adding that the TMC MP had defied the chair.
Besides, Benny Behanan, VK Sreekandan, Mohammad Jawed, PR Natarajan, Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, K Subrahmanyam, SR Parthiban, S Venkatesan, and Manickam Tagore were suspended from Lok Sabha for the rest of the session for “unruly conduct.” The motion to move the MPs was presented by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi.

Despite repeated warnings, MPs continued their protest, seeking a discussion on the Lok Sabha security breach, and eventually, the House was adjourned.
“It is most unfortunate that suspended member Derek O’Brien continues to be present in the House. His conduct has handicapped the House from transacting business,” Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar said after Derek O’Brien continued to be present in the House despite being suspended.
After the house resumed, despite multiple appeals from the chairman, Derek O’Brien continued to be present in the house. Soon after his suspension, TMC MP Derek O’Brien observed a silent protest at the Parliament premises.
