AAP MP Raghav Chadha suspended from Rajya Sabha for violation of rules | India News – Times of India
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar announced that Chadha has been suspended for gross violation of rules and contemptuous conduct, pending the privileges committee report.
His suspension followed a motion moved by the Leader of House Piyush Goyal who sought action against the AAP leader for including names of four members of Upper House in a proposed select committee for the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023.
The motion was passed by a voice vote.
The BJP had accused Chadha of forging signatures of the MPs in a motion related to the Delhi services bill in the upper house.
The MPs had submitted their complaint against the Chadha for “inter-alia including their names without their consent, in violation of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business, in a motion on August 7”.
Chadha had proposed the constitution of a select committee to consider the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and had included the names of the four MPs.
