US EditionParliament to Revoke Suspension of Eight MPs Amid Calls for Decorum Restoration
The eight MPs suspended for unruly conduct during the Budget Session agreed to restrict protests to the Well and uphold parliamentary decorum, Lok Sabha sources said.
- On Monday, Speaker Om Birla convened floor leaders and reached consensus to lift the eight suspended Opposition MPs’ suspensions on Tuesday, March 17, 2026.
- February 3 saw seven Congress MPs and one CPI MP suspended after a Lok Sabha resolution for unruly behaviour including climbing on tables and disruptive actions.
- Parties agreed to confine protests to the Well and avoid crossing treasury benches or throwing papers, while the Lok Sabha secretariat barred placards and noted AI‑generated derogatory portraits and slogans.
- Restoring the eight MPs' presence would help smooth proceedings, as Lok Sabha took up Question Hour earlier in the day and embeds the Speaker's appeals for dignity.
- Looking to the timeline, the Lok Sabha Secretary said the suspended MPs' revocation is expected after a floor leaders meeting attended by Kiren Rijiju, K.C. Venugopal, and others.
