‘Bhayanak Washrooms,’ Says Jaya Bachchan After Walking Out Of RS In Protest Against MP’s Suspensions

New Delhi: Her angst against the suspensions from the Parliament apart, Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan highlighted different kind of problem being faced by the Opposition parliamentarians who haven’t been suspended, yet. “Hamara washroom itna bhayanak hai (our washrooms are terrible),” Jaya Bachchan said after she walked out of the Rajya Sabha in protest against the suspensions.

She also accused Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar of not letting her speak.

“We have been trying to speak since morning. The Leader of the House has said that we will see how much patience you have. The House proceedings will go on till 11 pm tonight. They take water and loo breaks every five minutes. Even our washrooms are terrible,” she told NDTV.

The actor-turned-politician also slammed the Centre for trying to get the bills passed without any discussion: “They are using unfair and unjust measures If you wanted to pass the bill, do it just like that. What’s the point of doing ‘ayes and noes. Why this drama?”

Notably, the opposition benches in both the Houses wore a deserted look today as 49 members were suspended today in addition to the 79 that faced the same action on Monday. As of now, 141 Opposition MPs stand suspended from the Parliament.

Two other women Rajya Sabha MPs – Trinamool Congress’ Dola Sen and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi – were also accompanying Jaya Bachchan.

The latest round of suspensions came after the Opposition members, who have been demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on the December 13 security breach in Lok Sabha, raised slogans and disrupted proceedings of the House that saw repeated adjournments since morning. Terming the unprecedented action a “murder of democracy”, the Opposition alleged that the government wants an “Opposition-less” Parliament to “bulldoze” important legislations without debate.
