‘Deliberate design by ruling party to throttle Opposition voice,’ Adhir Ranjan on Lok Sabha suspension

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Saturday said the suspending members will “undermine the spirit of Parliamentary democracy” and termed the practice as a “deliberate design by the ruling party to throttle the voice of the Opposition”. The Congress MP who was suspended from Lok Sabha for “deliberate and repeated misconduct” said that he can “approach the Supreme Court” if needed. The matter of Chowdhury’s suspension has been referred to the Privileges Committee.
