THE “inappropriate behaviour” of some Opposition MPs led to their suspension from Parliament and the country would not benefit from their “negative politics”, Union Minister Bhupender Yadav said on Tuesday. Yadav urged the suspended members to reflect upon their actions. In an unprecedented move, 78 Opposition MPs were suspended from Parliament on Monday, the highest number of suspensions in a single day, drawing sharp criticism from the Congress and other parties that accused the BJP Government of trying to bulldoze key legislations in an “Opposition-less” Parliament.

 

An additional 49 Lok Sabha members were suspended on Tuesday for disrupting House proceedings. INDIA bloc MPs have been demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on the security breach in Parliament on December 13. “Their inappropriate behaviour led to their suspension. The new Parliament calls for new traditions and a clean way (of functioning). We aim to address questions from all members and seek everyone’s support in the journey towards a developed India,” Yadav said.
