Dhankar criticized the act, calling it "ridiculous" and "unacceptable." During the House's noon reconvening, Dhankhar expressed concern over the incident, emphasizing the distinction between the offices of the Rajya Sabha Chairman and the Speaker.
Simultaneously, 49 more Opposition MPs faced suspension from Lok Sabha over 'misconduct' amid chaos related to demands for a statement from Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the recent Parliament security breach.
This follows the suspension of 78 MPs from both Houses the previous day. In Rajya Sabha, 45 MPs were suspended on Monday, with 34 facing suspension for the rest of the Winter Session. The remaining members' suspension is under review by the Privileges Committee.
In Lok Sabha, 34 MPs were suspended on Monday, and 31 will remain suspended for the remainder of the ongoing session.
