The Opposition has urged the government, and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, to revoke the recent eight MPs — seven of the Congress, and one of the CPI(M) — who were barred from the House during the first phase of the Budget session over alleged unruly conduct. A delegation of Opposition leaders met Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Thursday, and pressed for the immediate withdrawal of the suspensions. According to Congress sources, the delegation included Congress general secretary KC Venugopal, Samajwadi Party MP Dharmendra Yadav, NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule, DMK MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi and TMC MP Shatabdi Roy.
