Suspended MPs Had Tandoori Chicken Under Gandhi Statue: Poonawalla

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala on Thursday quoted media reports to claim that some of the suspended Rajya Sabha MPs who are protesting in the parliament complex had consumed “tandoori chicken” in front of Mahatama Gandhi’s statue.

“As per media reports, some suspended MPs protesting in front of Gandhi statue in Parliament consumed ‘Tandoori Chicken’. Everyone knows Gandhi Ji had staunch views on the slaughter of animals. Many people are asking if this was a protest or a farce and a picnic,” Poonawalla said.

Twenty Opposition MPs, who were suspended from the Rajya Sabha for disrupting proceedings, have been sitting on a 50-hour-long protest at the Gandhi statue in Parliament since Wednesday.

The Upper House has been facing adjournment on various issues due to the Opposition ruckus since the Parliament’s Monsoon Session started.

The Monsoon Session of Parliament commenced on July 18 and will continue till August 12. There will be 18 sittings during the Session. (ANI)
