For The First Time, Says Shashi Tharoor on Joining Protest in Parliament
New Delhi: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday said that for the first time in his 15-year parliamentary career, he entered the Well of the Lok Sabha with a placard and expected his suspension from the House. Minutes before he was suspended, he wrote on X.
"For the first time in my parliamentary career of nearly 15 years, I too entered the well of the House holding a placard calling for a discussion on the recent security breach. I did so out of solidarity with my @INCIndia colleagues, who have been unjustly suspended for demanding accountability from the government. I expect suspension to follow. It is a badge of honour to be defenestrated by an unfair process."
