Amidst escalating tensions in the Lok Sabha, two more MPs, Thomas Chazhikadan and AMAriff, faced suspension for the remainder of the Winter Session due to misconduct. Their suspension added to the total count of 143 MPs facing repercussions for inappropriate behavior, triggering a nationwide furor.

The opposition condemned the suspension as undemocratic, emphasizing the display of placards demanding Home Minister Amit Shah's statement regarding the recent security breach in Parliament. Conversely, the government justified the action, accusing the suspended MPs of insulting parliamentary figures and the institution itself.

This move prompted the I.N.D.I.A. coalition to announce nationwide anti-government protests scheduled for Friday. Amidst these developments, a political rift widened as Trinamool Congress leader Kalyan Banerjee mimicked Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar during a protest, drawing strong condemnation from the ruling BJP.
