The suspension of 141 opposition MPs from the Indian Parliament has sparked controversy. The MPs were suspended for the remainder of the winter session, leading to protests and condemnation from opposition leaders. The opposition alleges a power grab by the ruling party, accusing it of stifling democracy. The suspension was prompted by protests over a security breach at the parliamentary premises. The mimicry of the Vice President by a TMC MP has also ignited a debate on freedom of expression and respect for constitutional positions. The INDIA Alliance, comprising leaders from various parties, held a meeting and staged a protest against the mass suspension of MPs.
