Amid din in the Rajya Sabha over the Manipur issue today, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar suspended AAP MP Sanjay Singh for the entire duration of the Monsoon session for “repeatedly violating the directives of the Chair”. Sanjay Singh was seen in the Well of the House before being suspended.
“The motion is that Shri Sanjay Singh be suspended for the entire duration of this session for having repeatedly violated the directive of the chair. The House approves it. Shri Sanjay Singh is suspended as a member for the entire session of this House,” said Jagdeep Dhankhar.
The motion for his suspension was proposed by the leader of the House and Union Commerce and Industry Minister, Piyush Goyal.
Before being suspended, Sanjay Singh was seen in the Well of the House, which led to objections raised by members from the treasury benches. Both the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha were adjourned until 2 pm amid uproar over Manipur violence.
