The current winter session will conclude on December 22. Following the record suspensions, several opposition parties accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of trying to bulldoze key legislations in an "Opposition-less" Parliament. "With an Opposition-less Parliament, the Modi Govt can now bulldoze important pending legislations, crush any dissent, without any debate," the Congress tweeted earlier.

Meanwhile, Congress MP Abhishek Singhvi said, “Congratulations Modi Sarkar on taking the nation in the line of North Korea and China." Rajya Sabha: In total, 46 MPs — 45 on Tuesday and one on December 14 — were suspended from the Rajya Sabha. AAP member Sanjay Singh was suspended as a Rajya Sabha member since July 24. Of the 45 suspended on Monday, as many as 34 opposition Rajya Sabha MPs, including Congress' Jairam Ramesh, KC Venugopal and Randeep Singh Surjewala, were suspended for the remainder of the 'Winter Session'.

Meanwhile, the 'misconduct' of 11 others was referred to the Privileges Committee, which has been asked to give its report in three months. The members will remain suspended till a report is submitted by the panel. Lok Sabha: As many as 95 members — 13 members on December 14, 33 on Monday and 49 on Tuesday — were suspended from the Lok Sabha in a single session.
