Parliament is the Temple of Democracy but the doors of the temple keep on shutting far too often. Most people hate Monday, the Opposition joins the list too. Monday marked the historic day in Indian parliament history as 78 MPs were suspended from both the houses of parliament on the grounds of ‘misconduct’ and ‘contempt of house’, taking the total to 92 in this session. While the NDA government might have been pissed over not blowing the opposition away with a spectacular 100 on 18th December, the drama went on Tuesday too. While on Monday, the INDI alliance’s innings was trailing by 92. Tuesday witnessed the NDA securing a lead of 141 on the opposition with 49 more members getting their names on the suspension list of the lower house. When the lawmakers are excluded for the dissent that they show, it raises the serious ethical questions.
