The BSP chief also said that during this time, the viral video of the suspended MPs making fun of the Rajya Sabha Chairman in the Parliament premises was also inappropriate.
Reacting to the suspension of members in both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati said at a press conference in Lucknow on Thursday that the suspension of about 150 opposition MPs in both Houses is a sad and unfortunate incident in Parliamentary history.
"Our party believes that the suspension of about 150 opposition MPs in both Houses during the current session of Parliament is neither good work nor a good record for the government or the opposition. No matter who is responsible for this, this is a sad and unfortunate incident in Parliamentary history that will also shake the trust of the people," said Mayawati.
A total of 143 MPs--97 from Lok Sabha and 46 from Rajya Sabha--have been suspended so far for creating a ruckus and disrupting proceedings in both Houses, demanding a statement from Union Minister Amit Shah about the Parliament security breach incident.
