Lok Sabha Set to Revoke Suspension of Eight Opposition MPs After All-Party Meeting

The suspension of eight opposition MPs—seven from Congress and one from CPI(M)—from the Lok Sabha for unruly behaviour during the Budget Session is likely to be revoked on March 17, following a consensus reached at an all-party meeting convened by Speaker Om Birla. The MPs were suspended for the entire session, ending April 2, but opposition parties have urged revocation. The agreement includes commitments to maintain decorum, avoid crossing benches, tearing papers, climbing furniture, and using AI-generated posters. Birla expressed concern over recent disruptions and urged ethical conduct in Parliament.
