Today is the third day of the ongoing Winter Session of the Parliament which is likely to witness the disruption of proceedings over the suspension of 12 Rajya Sabha MPs for their alleged misconduct during the last Monsoon Session held in August. Yesterday, 16 Opposition parties including the Congress met with Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu to push back the suspension order of the 12 Rajya Sabha MPs for the entire Winter Session. The Opposition MPs were suspended by the House for exhibiting unruly behaviour during the Monsoon Session. The suspended MPs would also sit outside Gandhi's statue starting Wednesday morning in protest. The 25-day Winter Session of Parliament began on Monday amid protests and sloganeering by the Opposition, who wanted discussion around the Farm Laws Repeal Bill.
