On Tuesday, Trinamool Congress MP Derek O'Brien expressed his disapproval over suspension of MPs and speculated that the administration would anticipate opposition MPs to follow the example set by BJP lawmakers Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and Ramesh Bidhuri, who are accused of misbehaviour, in order to avoid suspension.

According to a report in the PTI, during the last Winter session of Parliament,  scores of opposition MPs, including O'Brien were suspended from the Parliament. These MPs had protested and demanded a meeting and statement from Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the security breach that occurred on December 13.
