LoP Mallikarjun Kharge, too, deplored the suspension. "First, intruders attacked Parliament. Then, Modi government is attacking Parliament and democracy. All democratic norms are being thrown into the dustbin by an autocratic Modi government by suspending MPs." TR Baalu of DMK said: "Today, 33 Lok Sabha MPs have been suspended. The House has to be run peacefully but it depends on the behaviour of the ruling party. Nothing like this has happened in the history of Indian Parliament. The government s response is very poor."
The other MPs suspended were Manickam Tagore, Hibi Eden, TN Prathapan, Dean Kuriakose, S Jothimani, Ramya Haridas, Md Javed, S Venkatesan, Benny Behanan, K Kanimozhi, VK Sreekandan, PR Natarajan and K Subbarayan. The suspension of DMK MP SR Parthiban, who was not even present in the Lok Sabha, was later withdrawn. The government claimed it was a "case of mistaken identity", for which no apology was issued.
