Rajya Sabha MP from Aam Aadmi Party the Supreme Court has suggested MP Raghav Chadha to apologize to the Speaker of the House. On Friday, a hearing was held on the issue of suspension of AAP MP from the House. Earlier, the court had also expressed concern over the indefinite suspension of the MP. Chadha was suspended from the House in August during the monsoon session.
On Friday, the apex court recorded the statement of AAP MP Chadha’s lawyer. Lawyers said that the MP’s intention was not to harm the dignity of the House in any way. The lawyer also told that Chadha will ask for time to meet the Rajya Sabha Chairman, so that he can apologize unconditionally.
Supreme Court has expressed concern
The AAP MP had approached the Supreme Court against the suspension. A hearing regarding this was also held on Monday. Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, who was conducting the hearing, had said that we should be very careful not to exclude those voices from Parliament. Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Mishra were also present with him.
During that time too, the court had asked Attorney General R Venkataramani whether his suspension would be canceled if the MP apologized. The Supreme Court had asked whether we will have to hear this matter. The court said that the suspension of the MP is only for one session.
