NDTV
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi criticised the "sheer arrogance" of Union Home Minister Amit Shah for refusing to address Parliament after the security breach.
Seventy-nine MPs, from the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, were suspended Monday in an unprecedented development amid continuing fierce protests over last week's security breach. In addition to those already suspended, nearly 100 parliamentarians have been suspended so far.
This amounts to nearly a quarter of all opposition MPs in the final full sitting of Parliament before next year's general election. The list of those suspended includes the Congress' Jairam Ramesh, KC Venugopal, and Randeep Surjewala from the Rajya Sabha. From the Lok Sabha, the Congress' Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, who is also Leader of the Opposition, and Gaurav Gogoi have been suspended.
Speaking to NDTV, Mr Gogoi criticised the government and the "sheer arrogance" of Union Home Minister Amit Shah for refusing to address Parliament after the security breach.
