New Delhi, Feb. 4 -- Eight Opposition MPs, including seven from the Congress, were suspended from the Lok Sabha for the remainder of the budget session after massive protests erupted in the House amid the logjam over Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi's attempts to talk about India-China relations in the backdrop of former army chief MM Naravane's unpublished book. It was the first such suspension of lawmakers in the 18th Lok Sabha. Congress leaders told HT that the move would deepen the crisis further in the session that has just seven days left to finish the two debates on the President's speech and the Budget. The suspended MPs include Congress lawmakers Hibi Eden, Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, Manickam Tagore, Gurjeet Singh Aujla, Prashant Yadaorao Padole, Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy and Dean Kuriakose, and Communist Party of India (Marxist)'s S Venkatesan. Outside Parliament, Gandhi alleged Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "too afraid to let me speak in Parliament about Naravane". "PM Modi is compromised. The PM is too afraid to let me speak in Parliament about Naravane, Epstein Files and how he has surrendered on Tariffs. I want to say three things. The first thing is, they're not letting me speak. Modi is nervous, What I know, Narendra Modi knows. Modi signed that deal yesterday evening," Gandhi said. The LoP claimed Modi is under pressure. "Narendra Modi is under extreme pressure, and his image, which was created with thousands of crores of rupees, might burst. The issue is not Naravane's statement. This is a sideshow," he said....
