Kharge had raised the issue under rule 256 saying that the suspension was contrary to rules of the procedure of rules.”The Members have been suspended over a conduct which occurred in the previous session and is against the rules of the House,” the LoP said, adding that the question of apologising does not arise.In response, the Chairman said that the House has adopted a motion and on the day of occurance, the MPs were named by the Chair.On Tuesday morning, the Opposition parties, barring the TMC, assembled at Kharge’s office to chalk out a strategy on the matter and met the Chair but were left disappointed.Justifying their act, Derek O’Brien of TMC said that the Members were compelled to resort to such a behaviour in the Monsoon session as certain issues were not being brought up for discussion despite repeated requests. “Not the 12 Opposition MPs but the 80 MPs of treasury should be suspended,” he asserted.
