NEW DELHI: The Opposition parties in India have put up a united front and staged a joint protest in front of the Gandhi statue inside the Parliament complex in New Delhi against the suspension of 12 Rajya Sabha MPs by Modi government.
Indian opposition parties holding placards, the protesting MPs raised slogans against the Modi government and demanded that the suspension of the Rajya Sabha members be revoked.
Leaders of several parties, including the Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi took part in the protest.
Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said the suspension of the MPs was undemocratic.
TMC’s Saugata Roy said the government had lowered the dignity of Parliament. “Unless it withdraws the suspension, our protests will continue,” he added.
The opposition leaders said they would decide their future course of action on the issue jointly in a meeting.
