On The NewsHour Debate, with Navika Kumar, we discuss the controversy around the suspension of 12 Opposition MPs from the Winter Session of parliament. Rajya Sabha Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu has refused to revoke the suspension, saying that the MPs ‘showed no remorse’ leading to a walkout staged by Opposition members. Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge has now written a letter and demanded the suspension be revoked immediately. We discuss whether the suspension was fair or was it a farce to suppress the Opposition? Navika Kumar lays down some bare facts about the incidents of 11th August 2021 before welcoming our guests for the day. We are joined by Sambit Patra, national spokesperson of the BJP. Dr. Anand Ranganathan, an author, Bikash Bhattacharya, member of the Rajya Sabha from the CPI(M) and Saugata Roy, member of Parliament in Lok Sabha former Union Minister from the Trinamool Congress and Tehseen Poonawalla, a political analyst.
