Congress MPs Express Regret, Suspension Likely to be Revoked

Three Congress members of the Lok Sabha, Abdul Khaleque, K Jayakumar, and Vijaykumar Vasanth, who faced suspension for reaching the Speaker’s podium during the Winter Session, expressed regret for their behavior before the privileges committee. The committee has accepted their apology and intends to recommend to the Speaker to revoke their suspension, according to parliamentary sources.

The suspension of these three members was a result of their actions during the Winter Session, where a total of 100 opposition members were suspended for unruly behavior. While the suspension for 97 members was until the conclusion of the Winter Session, the fate of Khaleque, Jayakumar, and Vijaykumar was pending the privileges committee’s report. The committee is expected to submit its report on Monday, potentially paving the way for the revocation of their suspension.

The Winter Session witnessed persistent protests by the opposition, demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the breach in Parliament security on December 13. The regret expressed by the three Congress members appears to be a step toward resolving the disciplinary action taken against them.
