The 50-hour relay protest by suspended members of Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha continued for the second consecutive day in the Parliament House complex, with members staging a sit-in near Mahatma Gandhi’s statue.
The 23 Rajya Sabha members and four from the Lok Sabha, who were suspended for shouting slogans and carrying placards in the House, will spend the second consecutive night in the open at the complex, braving the heat and swarm of mosquitoes. The members have been suspended till July 29.
This is the first time such a large number of members have been suspended in the Rajya Sabha.
