The Lok Sabha on Thursday passed a resolution suspending five Congress MPs for the remainder of the session after being named by the Speaker for disrupting House proceedings. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi moved a resolution amid the din to suspend the five.
“I move the following that this House having taken misconduct of T N Prathapan, Hibi Eden, Jothimani, Ramya Haridas and Dean Kuriakose Kuryakus in utter disregard to the House and the authority of this Chair and having been named by the chair …to be suspended from the service of the House for reminder session,” the resolution read.
B Mahtab who was chairing the proceedings suspended TN Prathapan, Hibi Eden, S Jothimani, Ramya Haridas and Dean Kuriakose for the rest of the session.
Derek O’Brien suspended
Earlier in the day, Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member Derek O’Brien was suspended from participating in the remaining sessions of the winter parliamentary session, scheduled to run until December 22. The suspension comes in the wake of what has been termed “gross misconduct” and “defying the Chair” during Thursday morning’s proceedings.
Rajya Sabha proceedings were on Thursday adjourned twice during the pre-lunch period amid protests by opposition MPs after TMC leader Derek O’Brien was suspended. The motion to suspend O’Brien for the remainder of the session was adopted with a voice vote and the chairman announced that the TMC MP stands suspended from the House.
