New Delhi: TMC floor leader Derek O'Brien was suspended from the Upper House of Parliament on Tuesday (December 21) for the remaining part of the Winter session after he threw a Rajya Sabha rule book at the Chair. Sasmit Patra, who was in the Chair, said the TMC MP had raised a point of order and the deputy chairman duly responded to it.
A little later, O'Brien flung the rule book furiously in the direction of the Chair, Patra observed. "The rule book would have hit the chair, or secretary-general or officials sitting at the table," he said.
But the TMC MP took to Twitter to give his take on the matter. "The last time I got suspended from RS was when govt. was BULLDOZING #FarmLaws We all know what happened after that. Today, suspended while protesting against BJP making a mockery of #Parliament and BULLDOZING #ElectionLawsBill2021. Hope this Bill too will be repealed soon (sic)," he tweeted.
