Congress urges Om Birla not to suspend Opposition MPs for unruly behaviour in Lok Sabha
The government is contemplating moving suspension motion against as many as 11 Opposition MPs who resorted to sloganeering and throwing of papers towards the Chair in Lok Sabha yesterday. However, Congress has urged Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla not to suspend the MPs.
Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, Congress leader in Lok Sabha, on Wednesday met Birla and urged him not to suspend MPs. He said that the MPs were raising the concern of the people and the government is not listening to Opposition parties.
Sources told ANI that Birla has assured him that suspension will not be done for now. It is believed that a new committee could be set up that will monitor behaviour of the protesting MPs and decisions will be taken accordingly.
