The Daily Guardian|March 28, 2023
For causing a scene and staging protests in the House over Rahul Gandhi's disqualification as an MP, up to 16 of 17 Congress MLAs in Gujarat were suspended from the Gujarat Assembly on Monday for the rest of the Budget session until March 29.
RAHUL DISQUALIFICATION: 16 CONG MLAS IN SUSPENDED TILL END OF GUJARAT BUDGET SESSION

Imran Khedawala, Geniben Thakor, and Amrtutji Thakor, three MLAs from the major opposition party, were removed from the House by marshals while they were sitting in the well of the chamber and refused to return to their seats despite repeated requests from Speaker Shankar Chaudhary.

On Monday, all 16 of Congress' MLAs aside from Anant Patel were present in the House.

Amit Chavda, the leader of the Congress Legislative Party, demanded a discussion on Rahul Gandhi's expulsion from the Lok Sabha as soon as the question period started.

He claimed that Gandhi had been "silenced by the BJP government" for raising problems that affected people.

Gandhi was disqualified as an MP after a court in Surat convicted him on March 23 in a 2019 criminal defamation case over his "Modi surname" remark and sentenced him to jail for two years.
