TL;DR Summary

Three more opposition MPs were suspended, bringing the total number of suspensions to 146, as both Houses of the Indian Parliament were adjourned sine die. The Winter Session was marked by a security breach, record suspensions, and the expulsion of a TMC MP. The suspensions followed protests over the security breach, with the opposition demanding a statement from the Home Minister. Opposition leaders accused the government of using suspensions to push through important bills, while the BJP alleged a "pre-planned strategy" to block bills. The Lok Sabha recorded 74% productivity despite the chaos, passing 18 bills.
