Shashi Tharoor trips and falls at Parliament stairs; Akhilesh Yadav helps - video

NEW DELHI: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor tripped and fell while descending the stairs at Parliament complex on Wednesday. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and other MPs along with the staff members immediately assisted him to get back on his feet. The Lok Sabha was adjourned amid persistent sloganeering by Opposition members over the suspension of eight MPs during the ongoing Budget Session, disrupting proceedings shortly after they began. The suspended MPs staged a protest outside Parliament, holding placards reading “PM is compromised,” echoing allegations made by leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi while addressing the media on the India–US trade agreement.Those suspended include Congress MPs Hibi Eden, Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, Manickam Tagore, Gurjeet Singh Aujla, Prashant Yadaorao Padole, Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy and Dean Kuriakose, along with CPI(M) MP S Venkatesan.
