New Delhi: The Congress today came out in full strength to stage a protest outside the Parliament after speaker Sumitra Mahajan ordered the suspension of 25 Congress lawmakers for disrupting proceedings in the House.

Party President Sonia Gandhi is leading the protest along with Vice-President Rahul Gandhi, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and several other senior Congress



leaders. 

Samajwadi Party and RJD MPs have also joined the protest against the suspension of 25 members from Lok Sabha. "Democracy is being murdered and the way our MPs have been suspended, it is anti-democratic," said  Sonia Gandhi 

"PM speaks on 'Mann ki Baat,' he should also listen to the nation's 'Mann ki Baat'," said  Rahul Gandhi during the protest.
