Right after the Rajya Sabha chairman M Venkaiah Naidu on Monday suspended 12 Members of Parliament from the ongoing winter session, Rajya Sabha MP and Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Elamaram Kareem called this move as unfortunate and slammed the BJP government at the Centre.
Explaining Rajya Sabha rules, top experts told India Today that it’s not wrong to punish MPs in the Winter Session if they are found guilty of behaving badly in the Monsoon sitting.
The suspended MPs include six from Congress, two each from TMC and Shiv Sena and one each from CPM and CPI. The action has been taken against them for the indiscipline in the monsoon session of the House.
Twelve suspended MPs, including two Trinamool MPs, will sit on a dharna in Parliament House from Tuesday till the end of the Winter Session or their suspension is revoked, as Opposition leaders junked the idea of boycotting the entire session and instead decided to walk out for the day in Rajya Sabha and held a protest near Gandhi Statue.
