Trinamool Congress MP Santanu Sen, who on Thursday (22 July) snatched papers from IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in the Rajya Sabha and tore them, has been suspended from the Upper House for the entire Monsoon session.
The development comes after Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs V Muraleedharan moved a motion in the Rajya Sabha for Sen's suspension.
The motion was passed by a voice vote and Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu asked Sen to leave the House.
Earlier on Thursday, Sen, who was the former president of the Indian Medical Association, snatched papers from IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in the Rajya Sabha and tore them while the minister was making a statement on the Pegasus issue.
Responding to the incident, Union Minister Vaishnaw said that the Trinamool was bringing the same kind of culture of violence that it has in Bengal to the Parliament.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
