Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh was suspended from the House on Wednesday for the remaining part of the week for his "unruly behaviour".
Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh was suspended from the House on Wednesday for the remaining part of the week for his "unruly behaviour", a day after 19 MPs of opposition parties were suspended from the House for allegedly disrupting proceedings.
The Rajya Sabha on Wednesday adopted a motion to suspend Singh. “AAP MP Sanjay Singh suspended from Rajya Sabha for the remaining part of the current week for shouting slogans, tearing papers and throwing them toward the Chair yesterday,” Deputy Chairman Rajya Sabha Harivansh Narayan Singh said.
Singh had raised the issue of deaths due to drinking spurious liquor in the state of Gujarat in the House.
A total of 19 MPs from opposition parties, including seven from the TMC, six from the DMK, besides those from the TRS, CPI-M and CPI, were suspended for their "unruly behaviour" in the House.
Soon after the House met for Question Hour at 12 noon, Deputy Chairman Harivansh invoked Rule 256 and named Singh for tearing papers and throwing them at the Chair on Tuesday. The deputy chairman said Singh's action was in utter disregard of rules and the authority of the Chair.
Subsequently, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs V Muraleedharan moved a motion to suspend Singh from the House for the remainder of the week. The motion was adopted by voice vote, even as opposition members continued to raise uproar in the well of the house.
