When the House started proceedings after some new members took oath and the listed papers were laid on the table, Tapan Kumar Sen said he had given notice under rule 267 seeking suspension of business to raise the “serious issue” of “arrogant” and “anti-democratic” actions by JNU authorities. He termed the >rustication of Umar Khalid for one semester, Anirban Bhattacharya till July 15 and Kashmir student Mujeeb Gattoo for two semesters as well as the Rs 10,000 fine on Kanhaiya Kumar as “vindictive and vengeful” action taken in an “unjust manner”. D Raja said Parliament cannot remain a mute spectator to the university rusticating students in a vindictive manner on the basis of “doctored and false” videos. Leader of the Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad said, “we totally support whatever our colleagues have said.” Anand Sharma said “we are worried how the atmosphere in one after the other university is being vitiated.” The Chair could not give a ruling on the notice, as Congress members disrupted proceedings over dismissal of their party’s government in Uttrakhand, leading to adjournment of the House.
