While holding a protest against the recent controversy of MPs suspension from the Parliament which arose due to a ruckus created by the Opposition on the Parliament Security Breach issue, LoP Rajya Sabha & Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge says, "The PM is speaking everywhere including Varanasi but not in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on (Parliament security breach incident). We condemn it. This is also a (breach of) privilege case due to the violation of rules. The ruling party people are disturbing the Parliament proceedings." Yesterday, it was the first time that the Parliamentary Affairs minister along with 120 MPs was standing in Rajya Sabha and the MPs were shouting slogans.
