Eight Congress MPs from Lok Sabha suspended for the remainder of Budget Parliament session
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju moved a resolution in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday (February 3, 2026) to suspend eight Opposition MPs for the remainder of the session after they were seen tearing up papers and throwing them towards the Chair. The suspended members included seven Congress MPs and one CPI(M) MP, who were protesting against the chair's decision to prevent Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition, from quoting from a former Army chief's unpublished memoir on India-China conflict. The Lok Sabha was adjourned multiple times due to the protests.
