Opposition MPs created a ruckus in both the houses due to which a total of 146 MPs were suspended from the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha from December 14 to December 21. Among these, Congress has the maximum of 61 MPs. The issue of suspension of MPs was raised in the meeting of the opposition alliance India Alliance on 19 December. After this, all the parties together decided to protest on 22 December.

On Thursday, MPs from opposition parties took out a march from Parliament House to Vijay Chowk. During this, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge demanded an answer from the Prime Minister and the Home Minister on the issue of breach in the security of Parliament. He said that we are demanding answers from the government but the MPs are being suspended. The Prime Minister and the Home Minister should give statements in Parliament on this issue.
