Parliament Winter Session LIVE Updates: The winter session will continue until December 22.
After unprecedented and uproarious scenes on Monday in Parliament over the December 13 security breach, both the Houses are likely to be in for another stormy session as they reconvene on 12th day of the ongoing Winter Session.
A total of 78 MPs — 33 from Lok Sabha and 45 from Rajya Sabha — were suspended on Monday, following an uproar over the demand by the Opposition of a statement from Union Minister Amit Shah on the Parliament security breach incident.
While 34 opposition Rajya Sabha MPs, including Congress’ Jairam Ramesh, KC Venugopal and Randeep Singh Surjewala were suspended for the remaining part of the session, the “misconduct” of 11 others was also referred to the Privileges Committee, which has been asked to give its report in three months. They have been suspended until the report is submitted by the panel.
The reason behind the suspension of opposition MPs for the rest of the Winter Session was cited as “misconduct” and failure to adhere to the directions of the Chair.
