New Delhi, Aug 01, 2022: The suspension of four Congress Lok Sabha members was revoked on Monday by Speaker Om Birla. However, Om Birla warned that he would take strict action if placards were displayed in the House again.

 

Congress MPs Manickam Tagore, Ramya Haridas, Jothimani and TN Prathapan were suspended on July 25 for protesting and sloganeering with placards and posters.

Earlier on Monday, Birla called an all-party meeting of leaders before the House began proceeding. The government brought the proposal to revoke the suspension of the four MPs after the Speaker requested it. Birla said: “Everyone is hurt by the incidents in the House. I am also hurt, the country has also suffered. Parliament is the highest democratic institution in the country. We are all proud of the Parliamentary tradition here. It is our collective responsibility to protect this dignity and decency.”

“Subjects can be agreed and disagreed. But we have to maintain the dignity of the House. Leaders and members of all parties want the House to run. If the House runs, I give enough time and opportunity to everyone,” Birla said.
