In a dramatic turn of events, the Lok Sabha suspended eight Opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) for their unruly behaviour, citing disruption of proceedings. The move was initiated by Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, who accused the MPs of throwing papers during an uproar. The suspension, which will remain in effect until the Budget Session concludes on April 2, was announced by Speaker Dilip Saikia. The eight suspended MPs are: Manickam Tagore, Kiran Reddy, Prashant Padole, Hibi Eden, Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, Gurjeet Aujla, S Venkat Raman, and Dean Kuriakose. The Lok Sabha session on Tuesday was marked by repeated adjournments, with proceedings resuming at 3 pm after a brief break. The tension began when Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi sought to make comments on former Army Chief MM Naravane's memoir, despite being asked to refrain from doing so. The situation escalated as other members attempted to speak on the Motion of Thanks to the President's Address, leading to an uproar and the suspension of the eight Opposition MPs. The House passed the resolution to suspend the MPs by a voice vote, bringing an end to the day's proceedings. The suspension of these MPs is likely to spark further controversy, with opposition parties expressing their disapproval of the move.
