NEW DELHI: Hema Malini, an Indian Parliamentarian of ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) has defended the ban imposed over 100 lawmakers from the Opposition camp saying, “They ask a lot of questions and behave strangely in the parliament”.
An actress-turned-politician who represents Mathura in Lok Sabha (the lower house of Indian Parliament) said the only goal of the opposition is to ‘disrupt’ the parliament and uproot the Modi-led government.
She defended and said suspension means they have done something wrong, concluded the two-time MP.
Former actress and queen of Bollywood justified the wiping out of nearly two-third of the Opposition’s presence from the parliament.
“If they have been suspended, it means they have done something wrong. Work should be done by Parliament rules. They don’t do it and they have been suspended. There is nothing wrong in it, this is correct,” she said.
Her remarks came after 141 MPs – both from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha – were suspended for the rest of the Winter Session.
