Eight Congress MPs from Lok Sabha suspended for the remainder of Budget Parliament session
Kiren Rijiju, the Parliamentary Affairs Minister, moved a resolution in Lok Sabha to suspend eight Congress MPs for disrupting proceedings. The MPs, including Hibi Eden and Rahul Gandhi, were seen tearing up papers and throwing them towards the Chair, prompting the suspension motion. The Lower House was adjourned multiple times throughout the day due to Opposition protests over Rahul Gandhi's attempts to quote from a former Army chief's unpublished memoir on India-China conflict. The Speaker, Om Birla, had previously ruled against using the memoir, and Rijiju stated that Gandhi was misleading by citing it.
