New Delhi:
Aam Aadmi Party MP Raghav Chadha was today suspended from the Rajya Sabha for “breach of privilege” after complaints from four MPs alleging he named them in a house panel without their consent in violation of rules.
The upper house passed a resolution moved by Piyush Goyal, leader of the house, to suspend Raghav Chadda till the privileges committee submits its findings on the cases of breach of privileges.
The period of suspension of Sanjay Singh, another AAP MP, was also extended till the privilege committee decides on complaints against him.
“Sanjay Singh showed defiance and did not leave the chamber, and as a result if the house could not function…He did not show any remorse, instead he kept justifying his behaviour,” Mr Goyal said.
Mr Chadha yesterday trashed the charges and said the ruling party had targeted him because it could not accept that a 34-year-old MP took on its tallest leaders.
