On November 30, Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu said the suspension of the 12 opposition MPs stay as they haven’t expressed remorse.

BJP leader Piyush Goyal said the opposition’s behaviour is condemnable. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi tweeted, “Apology for what? Raising the people’s issues in Parliament?
