Alleging that the Parliament cannot be run like a "BJP Chintan Baithak," AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday demanded that the suspension of 141 MPs be revoked.
In a post on "X", Owaisi questioned what is left of democracy if opposition MPs are suspended or expelled at the drop of a hat.
"141 opposition MPs have been suspended from Parliament. What is left of democracy if opposition MPs are suspended or expelled at the drop of a hat? BJP has a brute majority in Parliament, why is it still so intolerant of opposition voices? Parliament cannot be conducted like a BJP chintan baithak. The suspensions must be revoked," he said in the post.
