As many as 14 opposition MPs were suspended from Parliament last week for the remainder of the session for disrupting proceedings over the Lok Sabha security breach incident. The Opposition has been demanding Home Minister Amit Shah's statement on the incident. While Trinamool Congress's Derek O'Brien was suspended in Rajya Sabha, 13 opposition MPs were suspended from Lok Sabha.
Deputy Leader of the House and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had last week in the Lok Sabha said that all should come together and condemn the incident and there is no point in protesting in the House.
"All have condemned it. We need to be careful... we should not give passes to those who create disturbances," Singh had said.
On Wednesday, December 13, two persons jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitors' gallery, shouted slogans and released coloured smoke from canisters that triggered panic and chaos in the House.
