Twenty four Lok Sabha members belonging to AIADMK were on Wednesday suspended for five consecutive sittings by Speaker Sumitra Mahajan for their "unruly behaviour" by storming near the podium, tearing papers and throwing them towards the Chair.
The AIADMK members were protesting against the proposal for a dam across Cauvery river in Karnataka.
When the House was to take up a discussion on the Rafale deal in the post lunch session after a few adjournments, the AIADMK members, who have been protesting since the start of the session on the Mekedatu dam issue, trooped near the Speaker's podium and started sloganeering.
