Lok Sabha polls: 1202 candidates in fray across 88 constituencies in Phase II
Over 15.88 crore voters will be determining the fate of 1202 candidates tomorrow in the second phase of the seven-phase Lok Sabha elections.
Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan on Monday suspended six Congress members for disrupting the House. They were suspended for five sittings because of their 'unruly' conduct in the House.
"This conduct of MPs is unbecoming. I am therefore constrained to suspend these MPs from the proceedings of Parliament for five consecutive days," Sumitra Mahajan said.
She said the Congress MPs persistently and willfully disrupted the House by tearing and throwing papers towards the chair, causing grave disorder.
