MLC A.H. Vishwanath flayed the suspension of 141 MPs from the Parliament and said that it was tantamount to silencing the Opposition and weaking of democracy.
Speaking to media persons here on Wednesday Mr. Vishwanath said those who are questioning the government were being silenced through suspension.
‘’The Parliament is the only forum for the Opposition to question the government policies and programmes. The role of the Opposition is to question those at the helm of affairs. But if this freedom to question the government was to be curbed then one has to wonder whether there was a need for Parliament at all,” said Mr. Vishwanath.
