New Delhi: The opposition I.N.D.I.A alliance will stage a nationwide protest on December 22^nd against the suspension of 141 MPs from Parliament.

AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge announced this statement after a meeting of the coalition on Tuesday. He also said that this coalition also passed a resolution condemning the suspension and calling the action undemocratic.

As many as 49 more opposition MPs were suspended from Lok Sabha on Tuesday for unruly behaviour. The total number of MPs suspended in both Houses of Parliament is 141.

Speaking to the media persons in conference he said if we have to save democracy we will have to fight together and all of us are ready for this fight. This is for the first time in India’s history that such a thing has happened, he added. The issue that we had raised in the House was not a wrong one. How those people did entered Parliament? Who facilitated their entry?

He also said we had been saying from earlier, Home Minister Amit Shah or Prime Minister Narendra Modi, should come to House and apprise the House about the incident. But they did not agree. I do not understand. Parliament is going on they go for inauguration in Ahmedabad. Modi ji goes to his constituency, is giving speeches everywhere, and why did he not come to Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha? They intend to finish democracy, he added.

The opposition bloc has slammed as undemocratic the suspension of MPs for display of placards demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on the December 13^th security breach in Parliament, the Government justified the action saying the suspended MPs insulted the Lok Sabha Speaker, Rajya Sabha Chairman and the institution of Parliament.
