										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trinamool Congress MP Shantanu Sen was on Friday suspended for the remaining part of the monsoon session of Parliament, even as the Rajya Sabha failed to function for the fourth day in a row.</p>
<p>Mr. Sen’s suspension comes a day after he snatched and tore the statement on Pegasus which the Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw was reading.</p>
<p>The motion seeking his suspension was moved by Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs V. Muralidharan and passed by voice vote.</p>
<p>The Opposition parties protested against the move, saying they were not given an opportunity to respond.</p>
<p>TMC members Derek O’Brien and Sukendu Sekhar Roy wanted the member concerned given an opportunity to speak. Mr. O’Brien said that after the House was adjourned on Thursday, Mr. Sen was roughed up. “We saw boorish behaviour and hooliganism in this House,” he added.</p>
<p>In response, Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu said this issue was not brought to his notice.</p>
<p>Congress Chief Whip Jairam Ramesh asked Mr. Naidu to allow for a clarification on the statement made by Mr. Vaishnaw.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mansukh Mandaviya, Minister of State for Health, stated on Tuesday that the Centre has never instructed any state to register fewer fatalities or cases.</p>
<p>“The Centre collects and records systems submitted by state governments. Our only task is to disseminate such information. We have not instructed anybody to provide lower numbers (of fatalities) or fewer positive instances. There is no justification for that,” Mandaviya remarked during a Rajya Sabha debate.</p>
<p>He further stated that people&#8217;s resolve, together with PM Modi&#8217;s leadership, can safeguard us from a third wave.</p>
<p>Earlier this morning, the head of the alternative in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, stated that the administration, like demonetization, did not plan for a covid-19 shutdown and should be held liable for this.</p>
