At least a dozen non-TMC Opposition MPs within the Rajya Sabha are mentioned to have supplied to depose in opposition to Union Minister Hardeep Puri in defence of TMC MP Shantanu Sen who was suspended from the House for tearing up Union Minister Ashwani Vaishnaw’s assertion on the Pegasus subject.
On that day, July 22, there was a heated alternate between Sen and Puri after which the TMC MP alleged that he was summoned by the Union Minister in a “bad manner”.
 

With the Pegasus row disrupting Parliament for the ninth straight day, sources mentioned on Friday that the federal government is “seriously considering the curtailment of the Monsoon Session”.
The session, which started on July 19, was to go on till August 13.
“The government is ready to discuss every people-related issue in Parliament, but the Opposition does not want that. It’s a complete waste of money and time,” a minister mentioned. He added that the “looming Covid threat… with many areas reporting cases” would even be an element if the federal government decides to wind up the session
