Opposition MPs Suspended: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge slams BJP govt, accuses of autocracy

Opposition MPs Suspended: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge strongly criticised the BJP government as forty-seven Opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) faced suspension for the remainder of the winter session, citing "misconduct" and non-compliance with Chair directives. The move has triggered accusations of a dictatorial approach by the Narendra Modi-led government.

Kharge's Critique on X

Kharge took to social media platform X to express his condemnation, stating, "First, intruders attacked Parliament. Then Modi Govt attacking Parliament & Democracy. All Democratic norms are being thrown into the dustbin by an autocratic Modi Govt by suspending 47 MPs."

The Congress President presented two key demands:

2. A detailed discussion on the security breach should take place.

Kharge highlighted the government's alleged lack of accountability to Parliament, emphasising its role in representing the people of India. He expressed concerns about the potential for the Modi government to push through legislations without opposition and suppress dissent without proper debate.
