Suspended Telangana TDP MlAs were arrested, on the consecutive second day, on Wednesday after they staged a protest in the lobby. Opposition TDP members, who were suspended for the entire duration of the current Budget Session after they disrupted the customary address by the Governor ESl Narasimhan and allegedly showed disrespect to the National Anthem, have been protesting outside the House against alleged “undemocratic and unconstitutional” style of functioning of the Speaker.
After Tuesday’s incident in which the TDP members protested in Speaker’s Chambers till 9 pm, they were again involved in a tug of war with the security personnel. TDP floor leader E Dayakar Rao alleged that when the party MlAs were going towards the media point they were stopped by the security personnel. later when they tried to go towards Speaker’s chambers to meet him, Marshals tried to stop them. Angered by this, they sat on protest in the lobby. They were forcibly removed by the Marshals and police took them in to custody and shifted them to the Old MlAs Quarters.
