INDIA bloc MPs on December 21 marched from Parliament to Vijay Chowk in New Delhi to protest the suspension of Opposition lawmakers, with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had violated parliamentary privilege by not speaking on the security breach issue inside the House.
Carrying a huge ‘Save Democracy’ banner and placards with messages like ‘Opposition MPs Suspended’ ‘Parliament Caged’ and ‘‘Democracy Expelled’ written on them, the lawmakers took out the march.
Meanwhile, three more MPs were suspended from the Lok Sabha for the remainder of the Winter session for unruly behaviour, taking the total number of members against whom such action has been taken to 146.
