Two More Opposition MPs Suspended from Lok Sabha, Total 143 MPs Suspended

New Delhi: Two more Opposition MPs were suspended for misconduct in Lok Sabha on Wednesday. A total of 143 Opposition MPs of both Houses have been suspended over the past one week. These MPs were demanding a statement from Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the security breach in parliament last week.

On Wednesday, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla suspended Thomas Chazhikadan of the Kerala Congress (Mani) and A M Ariff of the CPI(M) for rest of the Winter Session after the House adopted a resolution moved by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi.

From Lok Sabha, 97 MPs have been suspended. The Lok Sabha has 142 Opposition MPs. Less than 100 Opposition MPs left in Rajya Sabha after the suspension spree, the government does not face any challenge in that House either.

This means that the government can easily pass any legislation.
