As Parliament continues to witness the suspension spree, two more members of Lok Sabha were suspended on Wednesday from the remainder of the Winter Session.
Lok Sabha MPs from Kerala–Thomas Chazhikadan and AM Arif–were suspended today for misconduct in the Lower House.
Speaking on his suspension, MP Chazhikadan stated, “The demand of the opposition is that the Home Minister come to the House and explain what happened in the House on the 13th (security breach incident) and how it happened.”
He alleged that the government failed to provide security, highlighting an alleged threat call against Parliament two weeks ago.
“Earlier, about two weeks ago, somebody from Khalistan or Canada had threatened to attack the Parliament on the day of the anniversary of the earlier attack. The government and security at Parliament should have been on alert. If they had been, then such an incident as this would not have happened,” MP Chazhikadan said.
“Now the Home Minister is not even ready to explain this in Parliament. I was also there with the other suspended MPs when they were protesting outside Parliament yesterday. But no action was taken then. Today, when we joined the protests, I got suspended,” he added.
