9.01 am: Suspended Congress MP Ripun Bora says they will continue their protest. “Harivansh Ji said he came to meet us as a colleague and not as deputy chairman of Rajya Sabha,” he tells ANI. “He also brought some tea and snacks for us. We started this sit-in demonstration yesterday as a protest against our suspension. We’ve been here all night.”
No one from the government has come to enquire about us. Many Opposition leaders came to enquire about us and to show solidarity with us. We are going to continue this demonstration: Congress MP Ripun Bora https://t.co/EZyz5SxWRa
