The MP was accused of not obtaining the consent of five Rajya Sabha MPs before including their name in a select committee.
He was suspended till the Privilege Committee submitted its findings on the allegation against him for “forging the signatures of five MPs” in a motion related to the Delhi Services Bill in the Rajya Sabha.
Chadha has called the suspension patently illegal and without the authority of law.
His suspension followed a motion moved by Leader of the House Piyush Goyal who sought action against the AAP leader for including names of some members of the Upper House without their consent in a proposed select committee for the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023.
