After 12 MPs were suspended from Rajya Sabha for the Winter Session of Parliament by the Chairman on November 29, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge criticised Centre said, “We (Leaders of Opposition parties) are meeting tomorrow to discuss future course of action. If voices of those who raise voices for others are suppressed, it's like strangulating the democracy. We condemn it, all parties condemn it. This is an anti-democratic step. This autocratic government has done this to create fear among MPs. Moving of Resolution for action against 12 MPs is totally illegal, wrong and against rules. Incident had occurred in the session; action should have been taken in last session.”
