BJP MP and former Union minister S.S. Ahluwalia on Wednesday cited the suspension of 63 MPs from the Lok Sabha in 1989 for their persistent demand for tabling a report on the assassination of Indira Gandhi as he hit back at the opposition for its attack on the government over the recent suspension of its MPs.
Mr. Ahluwalia, who was a Rajya Sabha MP in 1989, noted that the opposition has dubbed Parliament’s security breach as a serious issue of national security to target the government and wondered what can be a bigger national security issue than the killing of a prime minister.
Sixty-three opposition MPs were suspended because they wanted the then Congress government to table the Thakkar Commission report, he told reporters.
