Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla announced a suspension of Congress MPs withdrawn

New Delhi: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Wednesday announced the withdrawal of the suspension of all seven Congress MPs after all members in the House in a voice vote gave their nod to the proposal presented by Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal.

Birla took the decision following a short debate by members representing their parties in the House. The debate began in the Lower House after an all party meeting was chaired by the Speaker in his chamber in Parliament.

Before announcing the withdrawal of the March 5 suspension order against the Congress MPs, Birla said: “All members have expressed their views. They talked about India’s unity. Whenever the question is raised against Parliament, all members try to maintain the dignity of the House because it is a temple of expectations of 130 crore Indians.”

“Everybody wants that Parliament should be sacred. Last two sessions have been excellent. Despite disruptions, the House was not suspended. I am personally unhappy over whatever incident happened in the House in the last few days. Showing placard in Parliament, throwing papers and other things was not good.

“I was told that there had been similar disruptions in the past too. But, I want to ask if these were good things and were they necessary.” (IANS)
