The Congress party has strongly criticized the government's decision to suspend opposition Members of Parliament (MPs), describing it as a "murder of democracy." The party alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government has effectively rendered Parliament a mere "rubber stamp."

A total of 14 opposition MPs faced suspension, with Trinamool Congress's Derek O'Brien suspended from the Rajya Sabha, and 13 others, including nine from the Congress and DMK's Kanimozhi, suspended from the Lok Sabha for allegedly disrupting proceedings. The disruptions were related to the recent security breach in the Lok Sabha.
