Derek O'Brien, Trinamool Congress leader, suspended from Rajya Sabha for 'unruly behaviour'

India TV News  

In a dramatic turn of events, Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member Derek O'Brien has been suspended from participating in the remaining sessions of the winter parliamentary session, scheduled to run until December 22. Amidst uproarious scenes and slogans from the Opposition protesting the suspension of TMC member Derek O'Brien, the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha were adjourned until 3 PM. O'Brien had vociferously called for a discussion on the alarming security breach incident, where two individuals breached the sanctity of the Lok Sabha by jumping from the visitors' gallery, releasing yellow smoke canisters. In response to the security breach, the Lok Sabha secretariat suspended eight security personnel for lapses that allowed the breach to occur on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack.
