2 TDP MPs suspended for disrupting RS proceedings
Two TDP members, C.M. Ramesh and Y.S. Chowdhary, were suspended from Rajya Sabha on Monday under Rule 255 for continuously disrupting the House by protesting against the decision to form Telangana. Cracking the whip, Rajya Sabha deputy chairman P.J. Kurien suspended the two MPs for a day.
The action came after both the MPs trooped into the Well during the post-lunch session holding placards as part of their continuous protests since the Monsoon Session began on August 5.
Professor Kurien gave Mr Chowdhary three minutes to speak with the condition that he and his party colleague would not come to the Well after that.
But, both the TDP members kept protesting with Mr Chowdhary demanding a statement from the government on the issue.
Mr Kurien’s repeated appeal to them to go back to their seats and allow functioning of the House went in vain and he suspended them invoking the Rule 255.
He then adjourned the House for 30 minutes. The two TDP members have been protesting against division of Andhra Pradesh since the beginning of the current session. Earlier too, they were warned of such an action “for holding the House to ransom.”
