Travesty of parliamentary democracy: Shashi Tharoor on suspension of MPs
Wednesday, 20 December 2023 Tharoor, who was himself suspended on Tuesday, said that with the suspension of so many opposition MPs, the history of parliamentary democracy has been "besmirched" in our country. "What has been seen in the country in the last few days is a 'travesty of parliamentary democracy'. I did a bit of research, never in the entire history of Parliamentary democracy has any Parliament in any country in the world ever suspended or expelled 150 people. That is the dubious record being set in our Parliament this week," he said.
On the suspension of 141 opposition MPs, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, "This is a disgrace and a blot on our democracy..."

Rahul Gandhi, addressing the Indian diaspora in Dallas, claimed that fear of the BJP and Prime Minister Modi has dissipated since the recent Lok Sabha election. He referenced his post-election Parliament speech mentioning 'Abhayamudra', a symbol of fearlessness in Indian religions. Gandhi asserted that the BJP couldn't comprehend this concept. He emphasized that the diminished fear of the ruling party was not his or Congress's achievement, but a significant accomplishment of the Indian people recognizing democracy's power.
