Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Tuesday revoked the suspension of eight opposition MPs after Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju moved a motion in the lower house. The MPs—Gurjeet Singh Aujla, Hibi Eden, Dean Kuriakose, Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, B Manickam Tagore, Dr. Prashant Yadaorao Padole, Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy, and S Venkatesan—paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi inside the Parliament complex following the revocation.

After Rijiju’s motion, Congress Chief Whip K Suresh expressed regret over the "inadvertent indiscretion" by some members. The opposition MPs are now allowed to participate in ongoing parliamentary proceedings. The eight MPs had been suspended on February 4 for the remainder of the budget session for violating rules and “throwing papers on the chair” during a uproar over Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s demand to include a specific reference to border tensions with China in eastern Ladakh in 2020.

Sources said that a consensus on revoking the suspension was reached at a floor leaders’ meeting chaired by Speaker Om Birla. The members agreed to uphold the dignity and traditions of Parliament and decided that no MPs should approach the opposite side in the Well, throw papers, or climb on officials’ tables. Both sides reaffirmed adherence to parliamentary decorum to prevent such incidents in the future.

The Lok Sabha Secretariat issued a bulletin reminding MPs to maintain decorum within the Parliament Estate, citing Direction 124A(2)(iii), which prohibits carrying firearms, banners, placards, lathis, swords, sticks, brickbats, or displaying derogatory posters, including AI-generated images and slogans. MPs were warned that violations could result in disciplinary action.
