Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh has been suspended from the Rajya Sabha for the remainder of the monsoon session.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar on Monday (24 July) suspended the AAP MP for the entire duration of the Monsoon session for “repeatedly violating the directives of the Chair”, reports Indian Express.
Leader of the House Piyush Goyal moved the motion to suspend him, which was adopted by the House by voice vote.
Before the motion was moved, Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar named Singh for his "unruly behaviour" and cautioned him.
Soon after suspending Singh, the Rajya Sabha chairman adjourned the proceedings of the Upper House of the Parliament till 2 pm as opposition members continued to create uproar in the House.
