New Delhi: During the recently concluded winter session of Parliament, a total of 264 questions raised by Opposition MPs who were suspended were expunged from the query lists in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha within a span of three days, Hindustan Times reported.

A record-breaking 146 MPs faced suspension from both Houses over eight days, spanning from December 14 to 21.
