Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha was suspended from the Rajya Sabha on Friday. This decision will be applicable till the report of the Committee of Privileges probing the case against him comes. The motion for suspension was moved by Piyush Goyal, who said that Raghav Chadha’s action was unethical. Accusing Chadha of breach of privilege, Goyal said that Chadha’s conduct was unexpected and unbecoming of a Member of Parliament. Goyal said that Raghav Chadha also said that his colleague Sanjay Singh was suspended for asking questions. While he was well aware that Sanjay Singh was suspended for indecent behaviour.
This is the charge
Chadha is alleged to have proposed the constitution of a select committee during the process of getting the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill passed in the Rajya Sabha.

Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar had on Wednesday, August 9, forwarded the complaints of these MPs to the Committee of Privileges, alleging that Chadha, in violation of rules, included their names in the House’s Select Committee without their consent. proposed.
A Rajya Sabha bulletin said the Chairman has received complaints from Upper House members Sasmit Patra, S Phangnon Konyak, M Thambidurai and Narhari Amin. All of them have accused Chadha of breach of privilege and in their complaint have referred to inclusion of their names without their consent in a resolution dated August 7, in violation of procedure and rules.
This is how Raghav Chadha defended
However, Raghav Chadha denied the allegations. He said that an MP can propose the name for the formation of any committee. Neither the signature nor the written consent of the person whose name is proposed is required. He said suppose I organize a birthday party and invite 10 people. Eight of them come, and two do not accept my invitation. Instead, they accuse me of how dare you invite us to your birthday? That’s what happened. I have invited them (MPs) to be part of the committee.
