“Take the suspension back. What is the need for suspension? He was just trying to raise the issue in front of the Chairman. Prime Minister holds responsibility for this major issue. He’s a world leader, just come for 10 minutes and discuss the issue. You (PM Modi) do not believe in Democracy and Opposition,” ANI quoted Raut as saying.

Notably, the suspension order came following the house was disrupted by the Opposition leaders seeking the response of PM Modi over the violence that erupted in Manipur nearly three months ago.

The motion to ban the AAP leader from the rest of the proceedings was moved by Union Cabinet Minister Piyush Goyal on behalf of the government, which was immediately approved by Rajya Sabha chairperson Dhankar.

After the suspension, the house was adjournment till 2 PM while the Opposition camp sloganeering grew louder in response to the suspension order.

However, AAP MP Raghav Chadha said that the suspension is against the spirit of democracy.

Chadha also informed that after the House was adjourned, they went to the chairman and requested him to revoke this suspension.

“It is very unfortunate that Rajya Sabha Chairman suspended Sanjay Singh. This is not right, it is against the spirit of democracy. After the House was adjourned, we went to the Chairman and requested him to revoke this suspension. Even during the BAC meeting, we all walked out as we were not being heard at all. The Chairman should talk to the MPs and have healthy discussions,” said Chadha
