Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said that the suspension of 12 Opposition MPs from Rajya Sabha showed that voices are being crushed by the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government, reported ANI.
“They [the suspended MPs] have done nothing wrong,” Gandhi said during a protest march against the suspensions outside Parliament. “We are not allowed to discuss important issues in Parliament.”
The MPs were suspended on November 29 for allegedly being unruly and violent during the Monsoon Session in August. The session was marked by disruptions in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha because of the Pegasus spyware row and the farm laws.
The suspended MPs are Elamaram Kareem of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), Congress’ Phulo Devi Netam, Chhaya Verma, R Bora, Rajamani Patel, Syed Nasir Hussain and Akhilesh Prasad Singh, Communist Party of India’s Binoy Viswam, Trinamool Congress’ Dola Sen and Shanta Chhetri, and Shiv Sena’s Priyanka Chaturvedi and Anil Desai.
Opposition parties have been protesting against the suspension for the last two weeks and have now intensified their agitation, according to the Hindustan Times.
