Record number of India’s opposition suspended from parliament

In a single day of the winter session, the Parliament of India suspended 78 Opposition MPs, with 11 facing a one-day suspension and the rest suspended for the remainder of the session due to “unruly behavior.”

These suspensions followed the suspension of 14 Opposition MPs just days earlier, bringing the total to 92 suspended MPs, including members from both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.

The Opposition MPs were protesting and demanding a statement from Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding a recent security breach in Parliament.
