Speaker Sumitra Mahajan suspends 24 AIADMK Members from Lok Sabha for continued ruckus
New Delhi, Jan 2: As many as 24 AIADMK members were suspended by Lok Sabha speaker Sumitra Mahajan Wednesday for the next five consecutive sittings for protesting and creating ruckus continuously in the House over the Cauvery issue.
Soon after the House reconvened after adjournment, AIADMK members trooped into the Well with placards and some flinging torn pieces of papers towards the table where Lok Sabha secretariat officials sit during proceedings.
A visibly peeved Mahajan suspended 24 members of AIADMK under rule 374 (A) that allows Lok Sabha speaker to suspend members in the event of grave disorder occasioned by a member coming into the Well of the House or abusing the rules of the House, among other things.
The Members suspended included K Ashok Kumar, R K Bharathi Mohan, M Chandrakasi, Jayakumar Jayavardhan, K Parasuraman, Dr K Kamaraj, P Kumar, M Vasanti, C Mahendram, K Maragatham and P Nagarajan.
The AIADMK has 37 members in Lok Sabha.
Earlier, Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu ordered members of AIADMK and DMK to leave the House for the day when they continued to protest in the Well over the Cauvery issue.

‘No Ramzan without Ram’: Hindus shower flowers outside Jaipur Eidgah in Eid gesture of unity
Jaipur: In a display of communal harmony, members of the Hindu community showered flowers on Muslims offering prayers at an Eidgah in Rajasthan’s capital during Eid celebrations, The Indian Express reported on Sunday.
The initiative was organised under the banner of the Hindu-Muslim Ekta Samiti, with the aim of promoting brotherhood and unity. Thousands of people had gathered at the Eidgah from early morning to offer prayers, with the atmosphere remaining peaceful and celebratory.
“Eid Mubarak to everyone. Festivals are about peace and harmony. This spirit should remain intact across India, including Rajasthan. Some people try to create divisions, but that is wrong. There is no Ramadan without Ram, and there is no Diwali without Eid. We are all one and belong to the same family,” TIE quoted Rajesh Kumar Sharma, a member of the Hindu-Muslim Ekta Samiti as saying.
Mufti Amjad, Imam of Jaipur’s Jama Masjid, welcomed the initiative. “Amid so much negative news, such gestures give people hope for a better world,” he said, highlighting the importance of unity between communities.
Such gestures of mutual respect have been seen during other festivals as well. Members of the Muslim community in Jaipur have also participated in Hindu festivals such as Ram Navami, Holi and Diwali by extending greetings and showering flowers, helping strengthen social harmony and trust in the city.
