Indian television news was, admittedly, confused, this week, following the high jinx in Parliament with the suspension of 141 Opposition MPs and INDIA leaders meeting in Delhi where Mamata Banerjee suggested Kharge as the coalitions candidate for PM in the 2024 general election...

And while we are onthe subject offaces, did you ever think of Shah Rukh Khan in the same vein?Well, thats what it looks like right now:Currently, SRK is the face ofTimes Now andIndia Today.The actorappears on bothnews channelsas part ofhispromos for hisupcomingfilmDunki..

In fact, re-runs of his mimicry for 24 hours have elevated Banerjee above the pack of141 suspended Opposition MPs and gained him immediate fame and universal jeering (India Today)..

Banerjee had diverted the attention of news channels to the sideshow outside Parliament and Rahul Gandhi, videographer had given BJP a walkover, saidIndia TV.Opposition will remain in opposition,concludedZee News...

A question raised by aZee News anchor was virtually ignored: The Opposition asked for a statement by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the security breach in Parliament on 13 December and protested when the government didnt appear to respond..

LoP Mallikarjun Kharge, too, deplored the suspension. First, intruders attacked Parliament. Then, Modi government is attacking Parliament and democracy. All democratic norms are being thrown into the dustbin by an autocratic Modi government by suspending MPs. TR Baalu of DMK said: Today, 33 Lok Sabha MPs have been suspended... The House has to be run peacefully but it depends on the behaviour of the ruling party. Nothing like this has happened in the history of Indian Parliament. The government's response is very poor.
