In response to his suspension from the Rajya Sabha winter session, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Derek O’Brien staged a silent protest on Parliament premises.
He held a paper in his hand that acknowledged ‘silent protest’ in three languages and one other paper was tied to his again.
Earlier within the day, Rajya Sabha Chair Jagdeep Dhankhar labeled O’Brien’s behaviour as “serious misconduct” and a “shameful incident,” stating that the TMC MP had defied the chair. This disciplinary motion was additional solidified when the Higher Home handed a movement to refer O’Brien’s conduct to the Committee of Privileges for thorough examination and investigation, with a directive to submit a report inside three months.
