The MPs will also take a call on whether to attend rest of the Budget Session from Wednesday in an apparent bid to exert pressure on the Centre and the Congress to take a decision on the separate statehood demand.
The MPs -- Madhu Goud Yaskhi, G Vivekanand, Ponnam Prabhakar, Sukender Reddy, M Jagganath, K R G Reddy, Balram Naik and S Rajaiah -- were suspended from Parliament for four days last Tuesday after they disrupted proceedings.
"We, all the 8 MPs, decided yesterday not to attend Parliament today in protest against suppressing our voices. Our demand is a genuine one and we protested in a democratic manner. But our voices have been suppressed," Nizamabad MP Madhu Goud Yaskhi said.
He said the decision was taken in Hyderabad last night at a meeting of the suspended MPs.
Yaskhi also said no decision has been taken whether to attend the Session from Wednesday.
