Speaker suspends 24 AIADMK members from Lok Sabha .


24 AIADMK members were suspended by Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan on January 2 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 at 5 p.m. in the evening, 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.

The Speaker then suspended 24 members of AIADMK under rule 374 (A) that allows the 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. Kamraj, P. Kumar, M. Vasanti, C. Mahendran, K. Margatham and P. Nagarajan. The AIADMK has 37 members in Lok Sabha.
