More than 140 Indian Parliamentarians suspended

Forty nine Parliamentarians, all of them from opposition parties, were suspended on Tuesday.

This takes total suspensions this session to over 140.

Opposition leaders have been demanding a discussion on the security breach in Parliament last week, when two intruders entered the Lower House, shouted slogans and set off a smoke canister.

Federal authorities are investigating the breach. Terrorism charges have been filed against five suspects.

Neha Poonia has more.
