At least 15 members of Parliament faced suspension on Thursday for alleged unruly behavior amid the furor over the shocking security breach in the Lok Sabha. The censured lawmakers include one Rajya Sabha MP - Trinamool's Derek O'Brien who sought discussion on the infiltration - alongside 14 Lok Sabha members like Manickam Tagore and Kanimozhi. Earlier five Congress parliamentarians were suspended for the winter session over conduct concerns raised by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi. The wave of suspensions targeted vocal opposition figures demanding accountability from the government for the egregious security lapses that enabled intruders to access the temple of democracy's inner sanctum on Wednesday. But the disciplinary actions only intensified outrage over evading discussion on the core issue.
