Suspension sensation: AAP’s Sanjay Singh booted from Rajya Sabha

“Parliamentary Pandemonium: AAP MP Sanjay Singh Suspended from Rajya Sabha for Monsoon Session” – A new controversy sweeps India’s political landscape as Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh finds himself ejected from the ongoing monsoon session of the Rajya Sabha for his consistent defiance of the Chair’s directions. This dramatic development occurred amidst escalating tensions over opposition demands for Prime Minister’s statement concerning the violence in Manipur.

Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar initially reprimanded Sanjay Singh for interrupting House proceedings during Question Hour, amidst opposition-led demonstrations. However, Sanjay Singh’s protests persisted, leading to him being named by the Chairman.

In the wake of Sanjay Singh’s continuous defiance, House Leader Piyush Goyal made a decisive move, calling for the AAP MP’s suspension from the session on grounds of violating House ethics and rules. Piyush Goyal’s motion received the House’s approval, resulting in Sanjay Singh’s suspension for the rest of the monsoon session. The Chairman asserted that the AAP MP’s suspension was a consequence of his recurrent violations of the Chair’s directives.

Earlier, Jagdeep Dhankhar had warned Sanjay Singh following his protests against a proposed bill to replace the Centre’s ordinance for control over services in the national capital, Delhi. This came amidst AAP and other opposition parties’ demands for a statement from PM Narendra Modi regarding the ongoing situation in Manipur.

This development throws a spotlight on the stormy Monsoon session of Parliament, which began on July 20 and will continue until August 11, highlighting the prevailing tension between the ruling party and the opposition.
