Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and member of Rajya Sabha Derek O'Brien was suspended from the Rajya Sabha for the remaining period of the Winter Session due to his alleged "unruly behaviour" and "misconduct" within the parliamentary chambers.

On Thursday, the day unfolded as the House reconvened at noon following an initial adjournment, only to witness the Chairman, Jagdeep Dhankhar, naming Derek O'Brien and cautioning him against disrupting proceedings and chanting slogans.
