Akhilesh Yadav took a swipe at the ruling BJP Tuesday evening, hours after Lok Sabha suspended 95 MPs - over 140, including those ejected yesterday and last week - in an unprecedented move to close out the final full sitting of this Parliament.
The MPs who were suspended today include National Conference's Farooq Abdullah, Congress's Shashi Tharoor, Manish Tewari, Karti Chidambaram and Nationalist Congress Party's Supriya Sule. They were suspended for disrupting House proceedings.
The total number of MPs suspended from the Parliament now stands at 141. On Monday, 46 Opposition MPs were suspended from the Lok Sabha, and 45 MPs from the Rajya Sabha.
Opposition lawmakers Tuesday hit out at the government after 49 more Lok Sabha members were suspended from the House, calling Parliament a graveyard of the Constitution and comparing it with the North Korean assembly.
Lashing out at the government for evading accountability for serious issues the country is facing, Supriya Sule said the blanket suspension "has been issued to ensure smooth passing of Orwellian Bills in the list of business for today and tomorrow."
