“They raised so many questions, behaved strangely, and hence got suspended,” BJP MP Hema Malini said on 141 MPs suspended

On Tuesday, BJP MP and veteran actress Hema Malini commented on the suspension of 141 MPs in the last few days From Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha and said that they got suspended because they asked too many questions and had strange behavior.

"They have done something wrong and that's why they have been suspended. Everyone should behave according to Parliament rules. They did not do that and got suspended. There is nothing wrong with it. This is right," Hema Malini was recorded saying.

Mocking the BJP MP, several Congress leaders said that it is she who has finally revealed the reason for the suspension of Congress and Opposition MPs from both houses.

Telangana Congress leader Sam Ram Mohan Reddy took to X and posted a video along with the caption, "Finally, a BJP MP has revealed the reason for the suspension of Congress and opposition MPs. BJP MP Hema Malini:— They ask too many questions that’s why they are suspended." In the video, Hema Malini had said, "Dekhiye vo itna sawal uthate hai kuch ajeeb sa behave karte hai...iske liye unko suspend kiya gya hai. Suspend kiya toh kuch toh unlog galat kaam kar raha hai (See, they raised so many questions, behaved strangely, and hence got suspended. Their suspension means they did something wrong)."

In the last few days, 141 MPs have been suspended from Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. The suspension came after the security breach in the Lok Sabha on December 13. The reason behind the en masse suspension is MPs from the opposition demanded a statement from Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Parliament on the security breach incident.

This Parliament session has been one of its kind. First, it had a security breach and then a mass suspension of 141 MPs. In a tweet, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said, "For the first time in my parliamentary career of nearly 15 years, I too entered the well of the House holding a placard calling for a discussion on the recent security breach. I did so out of solidarity with my @INCIndia colleagues, who have been unjustly suspended for demanding accountability from the government. I expect the suspension to follow. It is a badge of honor to be defenestrated by an unfair process." He was later suspended.

Turmoil in Parliament: Suspension of 49 MPs Heightens Tensions

In a dramatic turn of events during the Winter Session 2023, disruptions lead to the suspension of 49 Lok Sabha MPs, including notable figures like Farooq Abdullah, Shashi Tharoor, and Supriya Sule. The tally of suspended MPs in this session rises to 141, triggering further chaos.

The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha faced adjournment until 2 pm as Opposition MPs persisted in protests, demanding a statement from PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the recent Parliament security breach. The scenes were marked by placards, slogans, and a fervent call for the Prime Minister's presence in the assembly.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi attributed the unrest to the Opposition's discontent following their defeat in recent assembly polls. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing BJP MPs, criticized the protesting members, stating that some are not inclined towards constructive work. He warned that if such antics persist, the suspended MPs might not return to Lok Sabha.

The political arena remains tense as the Parliament grapples with disruptions, prompting concerns about the functioning and decorum of the Winter Session. Stay tuned for further updates on this unfolding saga.

L'unité du Congrès au Kerala a projeté aujourd'hui le documentaire controversé de la BBC sur le Premier ministre Narendra Modi à Thiruvananthapuram, même si le gouvernement central l'a interdit en Inde, affirmant qu'il s'agit d'une "propagande" fausse et motivée. La projection publique de la série – le documentaire en deux parties parle des émeutes du Gujarat de 2002 et de la politique du Premier ministre Modi – était l'un des nombreux événements de ce type organisés par plusieurs partis d'opposition et militants de la liberté d'expression à travers le pays. Le Congrès est également dans l'opposition au Kerala, mais le CPM au pouvoir a également pris position contre l'interdiction du documentaire. Au Kerala, le documentaire est au centre de la ligne même au sein du Congrès alors que le fils du chef vétéran AK Antony, Anil K Antony, a récemment quitté le parti alléguant des "appels intolérants pour retirer un tweet" dans lequel il avait défié la position du Congrès et appelé le documentaire de la BBC un "précédent dangereux". En réponse à l'argument d'Anil Antony selon lequel cela porte atteinte à la souveraineté de l'Inde, le haut dirigeant du Congrès Shashi Tharoor, membre du Lok Sabha de Thiruvananthapuram, avait déclaré que son argument était "immature". "[Are] notre sécurité nationale et notre souveraineté si fragiles pour être affectées par un documentaire ? » a déclaré M. Tharoor. La projection d'aujourd'hui sur la plage de Shangumugham à Thiruvananthapuram, la capitale du Kerala, a succédé rapidement à de telles projections de protestation à Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata et une par l'aile étudiante du Congrès NSUI à Chandigarh. Pendant ce temps, la Fédération des étudiants de l'Inde (SFI) a également projeté le documentaire sur le campus de l'Université Jadavpur à Kolkata jeudi soir, sans aucune ingérence de la police. Le chef du Congrès Rahul Gandhi, s'adressant aux journalistes à Jammu, avait remis en question la censure. "La vérité brille de mille feux. Elle a la mauvaise habitude de sortir. Ainsi, aucune quantité d'interdictions, d'oppression et d'effroi n'empêchera la vérité de sortir", a-t-il déclaré.

Au milieu de nouveaux bruits de sabre entre les deux principaux lieutenants du Congrès au Rajasthan – le ministre en chef Ashok Gehlot et son ancien adjoint Sachin Pilot, le député du parti Lok Sabha Shashi Tharoor a cherché samedi à minimiser la querelle en disant que le factionnalisme existe dans chaque parti politique , les leaders se rassemblent lorsqu'il s'agit de poursuivre une cause commune et collective. S'exprimant samedi lors d'une session interactive au Festival de littérature de Jaipur en cours, M. Tharoor a déclaré: "Existe-t-il des partis monolithiques en Inde? N'y a-t-il qu'une seule opinion au sein du BJP sur chaque sujet et chaque personne? Dans une démocratie, deux personnes peuvent avoir des différences d'opinion, mais si vous partagez la même idéologie et que vous vous battez pour la même cause, alors ce que dit le parti vaut". La nouvelle vague d'acrimonie entre M. Gehlot et M. Pilot, qui s'est disputé publiquement jusqu'à ce que le haut commandement négocie une trêve l'année dernière, a ravivé les craintes de désunion au Congrès du Rajasthan au cours d'une année électorale. L'État devrait se rendre aux urnes vers la fin de cette année. Sur la question de savoir si le factionnalisme affectera les perspectives électorales du parti là où il est au pouvoir, le député de Thiruvananthapuram a déclaré : « Ce factionnalisme et ces luttes intestines sont la réalité de chaque parti. De petites factions se produisent entre les dirigeants, mais le plus important est que nous sommes tous contre le BJP. . Ce sont de très petites choses par rapport aux grands enjeux en jeu. » Dans un indice clair que la trêve ténue avec son ancien adjoint pourrait ne pas durer longtemps, le CM du Rajasthan aurait été entendu dire dans un récent clip vidéo viral qu'un "grand Corona" est entré au Congrès après la pandémie. Alors que M. Gehlot n'a pas pris de nom, la remarque a été largement rapportée comme étant dirigée contre Pilot. La vidéo en question provenait d'une interaction du 18 janvier entre le CM du Rajasthan et des représentants d'organisations d'employés du gouvernement au Secrétariat. Répondant à la remarque du CM, M. Pilot a déclaré vendredi que les dirigeants devraient s'opposer les uns aux autres sur des questions et des idéologies et ne pas recourir à des attaques personnelles. L'ancien ministre de l'Union a déclaré que les dirigeants ne devraient jamais utiliser de mots pour des opposants qu'ils ne peuvent pas entendre par eux-mêmes. Sur les deux poids lourds du Rajasthan qui s'affrontaient, Tharoor a conseillé à ses collègues de faire attention à leurs propos. Gehlot, qui a survécu à un coup d'État orchestré par Pilot en 2020, avait auparavant déclaré publiquement que l'ancien député CM était "nakara" et "nikamma" (sans valeur). À la question de savoir si un dirigeant devrait utiliser de tels mots contre un collègue du parti, M. Tharoor a déclaré : "Nous devons peser soigneusement les mots avant de les adresser à nos collègues du parti. Je suis fier du fait qu'au cours de mes 14 années de carrière politique, Je n'ai jamais utilisé de tels mots pour qui que ce soit. Une ou deux fois, j'ai dit que je préférais ne pas lutter dans la boue. Je demande donc à mes collègues qu'il n'est pas bon de dire de telles choses à propos de nos frères et sœurs. Ils peuvent certainement trouver des façons de le dire et peut en dire beaucoup plus en privé », a-t-il déclaré. Le Rajasthan, dirigé par le Congrès, a été confronté à une nouvelle "crise politique" l'année dernière, avec Gehlot et Pilot enfermés dans une lutte pour le poste de ministre en chef de l'État. Une tentative du haut commandement de faire de Gehlot le favori des élections présidentielles du Congrès l'année dernière et d'installer Pilot alors que le nouveau CM du Rajasthan s'est retourné contre lui alors que plus de 80 députés fidèles au premier ont démissionné de l'Assemblée. Cependant, M. Gehlot s'est ensuite retiré des urnes pour élire le nouveau président du Congrès et a conservé le poste de CM.

Sur le "Bharat Jodo Yatra" en cours, le député du Congrès a déclaré que la marche à pied avait modifié les perceptions autour de l'image de Rahul Gandhi. "Il y avait un récit le présentant comme arrogant et négligent. Mais la yatra a changé la façon de penser des gens", a déclaré M. Tharoor. Il a ajouté que la yatra avait également insufflé aux cadres du parti une énergie et une verve nouvelles. Lors de la prochaine sortie de Bollywood "Gandhi Godse - Ek Yudh", un récit fictif qui oppose le Mahatma Gandhi à son agresseur dans une bataille d'idéologies, Tharoor a déclaré: "Gandhiji voulait l'unité hindou-musulmane et il a donc été assassiné. Il est maintenant temps de pense au voyage de sa vie."(À l'exception du titre, cette histoire n'a pas été éditée par le personnel de NDTV et est publiée à partir d'un flux syndiqué.)
