49 more opposition MPs suspended from Lok Sabha today, total count touches 141

The strength of the opposition INDIA bloc continued to decline in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday with the suspension of 49 MPs for misbehaving and disobeying the Chair’s orders. This comes the day after both Houses of Parliament suspended 78 opposition MPs.

Shashi Tharoor, Manish Tewari, and Karti Chidambaram of the Congress, NCP’s Farooq Abdullah and Supriya Sule, Dimple Yadav of Samajwadi Party, S Senthilkumar of DMK, Sushil Kumar Rinku of Aam Aadmi Party, and Sudip Bandhopadhyay of Trinamool Congress are among the suspended members. Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal brought the motion to suspend the MPs.

With this, there are now 141 MPs suspended from the Parliament overall. 45 MPs from the Rajya Sabha and 46 MPs from the Lok Sabha’s opposition were suspended on Monday.

These strict measures, according to the government, are required to maintain law and order and guarantee unhindered legislative proceedings.

Leaders of the opposition have harshly criticized the widespread suspensions, charging that the BJP-led government is “murdering democracy” by quashing dissent and limiting debate in parliament.
