New Delhi: The Privileges Committees of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha are scheduled to meet next week, where 14 opposition MPs will be given an opportunity to put across their views over the issue of their suspension for unruly conduct during the recently concluded winter Session of Parliament.
Fourteen MPs – three from Lok Sabha and 11 from Rajya Sabha – were suspended for creating "grave disorder” in their respective Houses on December 18 which led to their suspension and their cases being referred to the Privileges Committee.
While the Privileges Committee of Lok Sabha is scheduled to meet on January 12 to hear the views of three suspended MPs, the Rajya Sabha committee will meet on January 9 to examine the suspension of 11 MPs.
As many as 146 MPs – 100 from Lok Sabha and 46 from Rajya Sabha – were suspended during the Winter session of Parliament after they brought placards and raised slogans demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on the issue of breach of Parliament security. (with PTI inputs)
