New Delhi, Dec 18: Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar on Monday (December 18) suspended 45 Opposition MPs for the remainder of the session, after they created a ruckus inside the Upper House, over the Parliament security breach incident that took place on December 13.
This comes after 33 Opposition MPs were suspended from Lok Sabha earlier in the day. Rajya Sabha was adjourned to meet again tomorrow at 11 am.
Addressing the Upper House, Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said, “I request that the honorable MPs should behave as per the rules in the House. Don't turn yourself into a riot brigade. Do not let the dignity of this great House fall."
A total of 92 Opposition MPs have been suspended so far from both the Houses.
Earlier in the day, 33 Lok Sabha MPs were suspended from the Lower House besides the 13 who were suspended earlier.
