Parliament Sealed Amid Internet Shutdown: MPs Demand Answers

Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury moved a motion alleging Parliament's gates were sealed, and internet services suspended, restricting MPs from engaging with nearby protesters. Along with MP Vijay Vasanth, she demanded explanations from the government, highlighting issues of paper leaks and police action against demonstrators near Parliament.

On Tuesday, Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury initiated an adjournment motion under Rule 267, citing severe civil freedom infringements around the Parliament. Chowdhury's motion pointed to blocked exits and suspended internet services, effectively trapping MPs and preventing them from interacting with protesting citizens.

Chowdhury accused the government of overstepping, labeling the lockdown a breach of parliamentary privileges and a violation of fundamental human rights under Article 19(1)(d). She demanded immediate governmental accountability and an explanation for these actions.

Simultaneously, Kanyakumari MP Vijay Vasanth called for discussion on repetitive examination paper leaks and the suppression of student protests by police forces. Both MPs pushed for transparent government communication and enhanced measures to restore public trust in the exam system.
