New Delhi, Dec 21, 2023: Three more Opposition MPs have been suspended from the Lok Sabha for unruly behaviour, taking the total number of suspensions to an unprecedented 146. Those suspended were Congress MPs Deepak Baij, DK Suresh and Nakul Nath, the son of veteran leader Kamal Nath.

The number of MPs suspended from the lower house is now 100. Yesterday, two MPs were suspended.

The wave of suspensions started earlier this week as the Opposition demanded a statement from the Union Home Minister about the security breach in the Lok Sabha when men had smuggled in smoke bombs and let them off during the house proceedings.

The issue has snowballed into the latest flashpoint between the government and the Opposition following the mimicry of Rajya Sabha Chairman and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar by a Trinamool MP.

The Opposition has alleged that suspension of MPs is the government’s ploy to pass key bills without any discussion.
