New Delhi, March 17 The Lok Sabha on Tuesday immediately lifted the suspension of eight opposition members, who had been suspended from the House on February 3 for "disruptive" behaviour, following a request from Congress leader K Suresh.
Following the submissions by several opposition members, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju stated that there was a need to establish clear guidelines for the smooth functioning of the House, which both the treasury and opposition benches agreed to.
Speaker Om Birla said that it is necessary to ensure that no placards, posters, photos, or AI-generated images are displayed in the House or within the Parliament complex.
Rijiju then moved a motion to remove the suspension of seven Congress MPs and one CPI-M member, which was passed by voice vote.
The suspended MPs included Gurjeet Singh Aujla, Hibi Eden, C Kiran Kumar Reddy, Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, Manickam Tagore, Prashant Padole, and Dean Kuriakose of the Congress, as well as S Ventakesan of the CPI(M).
The eight MPs were suspended on February 3 for "disruptive" behaviour following a resolution passed by the Lok Sabha during the first half of the ongoing Budget session.
They were suspended for the entire duration of the Budget session, scheduled to conclude on April 2.
