MPs' suspension won't be revoked: RS chair

November 30, 2021 11:30

Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu rejects the request for the revocation of suspension of 12 MPs. The suspension of the 12 opposition MPs won't be revoked as "they haven't expressed remorse", Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu told an angry House this morning.

"Suspended MPs have not expressed remorse. I am not considering the appeal of Leader of Opposition (the Congress' Mallikarjun Kharge). Suspension will not be revoked," he said.

The 16 parties said that if the contentious suspension - which they have argued is against parliamentary laws, since the rules do not allow for punishments to be carried over into following sessions - is not revoked, they intend to boycott today's session of the Rajya Sabha.
