Protect democracy, Kharge urges Dhankhar in RS over Ranjan’s suspension

Chowdhury was suspended from the House while the privileges committee investigated his behavior. On Thursday evening, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi submitted the resolution for Chowdhury’s suspension after the Congress politician repeatedly disturbed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s response to the no-confidence motion debate.

The Lok Sabha was adjourned until 12 p.m. on Friday due to opposition demonstrations over Chowdhury’s suspension. As soon as the House convened, Congress deputy leader Gaurav Gogoi brought up Chowdhury’s suspension from the House for “repeated misconduct” on Thursday evening.

A few Congress members stood up and were heard addressing Speaker Om Birla that Chowdhury had always cooperated with him. The Speaker convened Question Hour, but it was adjourned within a minute of the House convening for the day. Parliament’s Monsoon session, which began on July 20, closes on Friday.
