Trinamool Congress MP Derek O'Brien on January 2 said the government perhaps wants opposition members to behave like BJP lawmakers Ramesh Bidhuri and Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh — both of whom are facing allegations of misconduct — as 14 Opposition MPs continue to remain suspended from Parliament.
A hundred Opposition MPs in the Lok Sabha and 46 in the Rajya Sabha were suspended during the recent Winter session of Parliament after they held protests in the two Houses to demand a discussion and a statement by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the December 13 security breach.
In a post on X, Mr. O'Brien — who was among the MPs to be suspended — took a jibe at the government and mentioned Bidhuri, accused of using a communal slur in the Lok Sabha, and Singh, who is facing allegations of sexual harassment by six women wrestlers.
