Informing members of the Lok Sabha that a “high-powered committee” will review various aspects of security in the Parliament complex to formulate an action plan to prevent a repeat of the December 13 incident, Speaker Om Birla on December 16 asserted that there was no link between the suspension of Opposition members and the security breach.
In a two-page letter to all members, he said the MPs were suspended not for raising the issue in the House, but for “carrying placards and creating ruckus”. He added that the decision had caused him immense pain.
