Parliament: 12 Rajya Sabha opposition MPs suspended for remaining winter session

New Delhi/UNI: As many as 12 Rajya Sabha members from Opposition parties were suspended on Monday for the rest of the Winter session of Parliament, for creating ruckus during the Monsoon session.

The suspended members include six from Congress, two from Shiv Sena, two from the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and one each from CPI (M) and CPI.

The MPs are Elamaram Kareem, CPI (M), Phulo Devi Netam (Congress), Chhaya Verma (Congress), Ripun Bora (Congress), Binoy Viswam (CPI), Rajmani Patel (Congress), Dola Sen (TMC), Shanta Chhetri (TMC), Syed Nasir Hussain (Congress), Priyanka Chaturvedi (Shiv Sena), Anil Desai (Shiv Sena) and Akhilesh Prasad Singh (INC).

Unruly and ugly scenes were witnessed during the passage of the General Insurance Business (Nationalisation) Amendment Bill on Aug 11, during the Monsoon session of the House.

As the situation went out of control, security had to be called in.

The Treasury Bench demanded stern action against the MPs for indulging in aggressive behaviour.

In his opening remarks today in the House, Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu lamented lack of remorse by all concerned over unruly scenes during the last Monsoon session.

He also said that disruptions and unruly conduct of some members during the last monsoon session continued to haunt all.

"The Treasury Benched wanted a detailed enquiry into the conduct of some members during the final two days of the last turbulent session. I have tried to reach out to the leaders of various parties. Some of them made it clear that their members would not be a party to any such inquiry.

"Some leaders, however, expressed concern over the way the functioning of the House was derailed and condemned the unruly incidents," he said.

"On my part, I was expecting and awaiting the leading lights of this August House to take lead in expressing their outrage over what had happened during the last session with assurances of introspection and spirited efforts to prevent recurrence of such incidents.

"Such assurances by all concerned would have helped me in appropriately handling the matter. But unfortunately, it was not to be," he added.
