Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien was suspended from Rajya Sabha on Tuesday for the remaining Winter Session of the Parliament for 'unruly behaviour' in the House. The TMC MP was suspended after he allegedly threw the Rajya Sabha Rule Book towards the Chair during the discussion on Election Laws (Amendment Bill) 2021 on December 21.

This is not the first time Derek O'Brien has been suspended from the Upper House. The TMC leader was suspended for creating chaos in the House during the passing of the controversial farm laws that were repealed after months-long farmers' protests.

Taking to Twitter, Derek O'Brien said this time he has been suspended for protesting against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) making a mockery of the Parliament by “bulldozing” The Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2021, hoping this bill will also be repealed soon.

"The last time I got suspended from RS was when govt. was BULLDOZING #FarmLaws," the TMC leader wrote on Twitter. “We all know what happened after that.”

The Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2021, which has been passed by both Houses, seeks to link electoral roll data with the Aadhaar ecosystem.
