Earlier on Friday, the Congress objected to the suspension of Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury from the Lok Sabha on 'flimsy grounds', a day after the Leader of the House in Lok Sabha faced the government's ire for several personal remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the discussion on the No-Confidence Motion.

Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge had earlier raised the issue of Chowdhury's suspension while addressing Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar.
The ongoing session of Parliament is scheduled to end on Friday after an unsuccessful No-Confidence Motion against the Narendra Modi government on Thursday.
