'Mother of democracy has orphaned it': Kapil Sibal opens up on bulk suspension of MPs over security breach ruckus

Kapil Sibal, a Rajya Sabha MP, criticized the suspension of 78 MPs from both Houses, calling it the biggest single-day purge in the history of India's Parliament. He stated that the 'mother of democracy has orphaned it' and urged citizens to ensure its survival. The number of suspended legislators rose to 92, with 78 MPs suspended for disrupting proceedings over the demand for a statement from the Union Home Minister on a recent security breach. Sibal's comments highlight the concern over the suspension of MPs and the impact on democratic norms.
