New Delhi: The Lok Sabha passed a resolution today suspending five Congress MPs for the remainder of the session after being named by the Speaker for disrupting House proceedings.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi moved a resolution amid the din to suspend the five.
"I move the following that this House having taken misconduct of T N Prathapan, Hibi Eden, Jothimani, Ramya Haridas and Dean Kuriakose Kuryakus in utter disregard to the House and the authority of this Chair and having been named by the chair ...to be suspended from the service of the House for reminder session," the resolution read.
The Lok Sabha Secretariat has suspended eight personnel for the security breach in Parliament.
On the 22nd anniversary of the Parliament terror attack, a major security breach occurred when two intruders entered the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitor gallery during Zero Hour. In a security breach in Lok Sabha, two men jumped into the House from the visitors' gallery, holding canisters in their hands. They released yellow gas from canisters and shouted slogans before being overpowered by MPs.
Opposition members in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha raised slogans demanding a statement from the government on the issue of Parliament security breach.
The Winter session began on December 4 and will culminate on December 22.
