In a decisive move, five Congress Lok Sabha MPs—Hindi Eden, TN Prathapan, S Jothimani, Ramya Haridas, and Dean Kuriakose—faced suspension from the Lok Sabha for what was termed as "unruly conduct" during the aftermath of the security breach that occurred in Parliament the previous day.
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi announced the suspension, attributing the MPs' actions to a blatant disregard for the decorum of the chair. Their suspension extends for the remainder of the ongoing Winter Session.
The decision to suspend the Congress MPs came in the wake of the uproar and chaos that unfolded in the Lok Sabha following yesterday's security breach incident. The disruption and the subsequent conduct of these members led to their suspension as a disciplinary measure.
The suspension of these five members underscores the gravity with which the House views disruptions and misconduct, particularly in the context of sensitive issues like security breaches within the parliamentary premises.
