The action was preventable, but it could throw off the current winter session, which is set to end next week. The Congress and other parties want a response from the Home Minister over the chaos that a few invaders produced in the Lok Sabha on December 13.
The administration has asked the Opposition to refrain from politicising the “grave national issue.” The nation as a whole is concerned about the security of the new Parliament complex, not just the legislators. To come up with infallible remedies, the government and the opposition must have a detailed conversation.

The government’s decision to suspend MPs for the duration of the session smacks of avoidance tactics. Such a measure must be used proportionately and with caution. When legislators are removed from office at any time, attention naturally turns to their demonstrations against perceived injustice and the “murder of democracy.”
This obstructs a fruitful discussion and diminishes the importance of Parliament as a venue for discussion of issues pertaining to the public and national interest. Indian politicians have long been known to make noise, right or wrong. Parliament is a place where loud noise levels are typical.

It is true that all Members of Parliament are required by the Constitution to uphold the honour, integrity, and decorum of the House. However, they ought to be let to voice their opinions in the House as long as they don’t go too far in decency. The mere act of displaying slogans is insufficient justification for ejecting them. Making sure that the House’s work is conducted efficiently should take precedence over hasty decisions. Regular disruptions and suspensions are detrimental to the effectiveness of House sessions and are a sign of trouble for parliamentary democracy.
