The Rajya Sabha’s Privileges Committee will meet in Parliament on Monday to discuss MP Raghav Chaddha of the Aam Adami Party (AAP) and his suspension.
The meeting, which was supposed to start at 12:30 p.m., is about to get underway.
Following complaints, Chadha was suspended from the Upper House on August 11 for a “breach of privilege” that occurred during the Monsoon Session.
The MP was accused of putting five Rajya Sabha MPs’ names on a select committee without getting their permission.
He was suspended till the Privilege Committee submitted its findings on the allegation against him for forging the signatures of five MPs in a motion related to the Delhi Services Bill in the Rajya Sabha.
Chadha has called the suspension patently illegal and without the authority of the law.
His suspension followed a motion moved by Leader of the House Piyush Goyal, who sought action against the AAP leader for including the names of some members of the Upper House without their consent in a proposed select committee for the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023.
Chadha moved to the top court, challenging his indefinite suspension from the Rajya Sabha.
