New Delhi : The Lok Sabha on Tuesday revoked the suspension of eight Members of Parliament who had been barred during the first phase of the Budget Session. The group includes seven MPs from the Congress and one from the Left. They were originally suspended on February 4 for the remainder of the session.
The MPs were accused of creating a ruckus in the House and throwing papers towards the Chair of presiding officer Krishna Prasad Tenneti. The disruption occurred while Rahul Gandhi was speaking about the 2020 India-China border tensions in eastern Ladakh.
A motion to revoke the suspension was moved by Congress MP K. Suresh along with two other members. The motion was passed by voice vote, with support from Samajwadi Party MP Dharmendra Yadav. He stated that the ruling side must also uphold the dignity of the House and specifically urged BJP MP Nishikant Dubey to exercise restraint.
Following his remarks, members of the ruling party created an uproar in the House. During the proceedings, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla cautioned MPs against displaying placards or AI-generated images inside the House.
