The Opposition INDIA bloc on Friday, December 22, staged a protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi against the suspension of 146 MPs from the Parliament for the Winter session. The protest organised under the banner of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), was attended by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, former party chief Rahul Gandhi and leaders of Left parties, DMK, NCP, SP, NC, TMC, JMM, RJD and other members of the Opposition coalition.

Kharge said the leaders of INDIA parties have come together as democracy is under threat under the BJP government. "When all unite, Narendra Modi won't be able to do anything... The more you try to crush us, the more we will rise. We are fighting unitedly to save the country and democracy," he said.
