All Parliament Suspensions To Be Revoked Ahead Of Budget Session Tomorrow

New Delhi: 

The suspension of 11 Rajya Sabha MPs was revoked today ahead of the Budget Session of Parliament which starts tomorrow.

146 MPs – including members of both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha – were suspended last month during the Winter Session of Parliament for staging protests in demand of a statement by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the security breach in Parliament.

Of the 146, 132 MPs were suspended for the remainder of the session. So, their suspension was revoked when the session concluded.

For the remaining 14 MPs – 11 from Rajya Sabha and 3 from Lok Sabha -the case was referred to the privileges committees of both the Houses.

While the Privileges Committee of Lok Sabha lifted the suspension of 3 Lok Sabha MPs on January 12, suspension of 11 Rajya Sabha MPs was revoked today.
