Adhir's suspension revoked after House panel weighs in
Hindustan Times
|August 31, 2023
Congress’s Lok Sabha floor leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury’s suspension from the House was revoked on Wednesday, hours after the privileges committee, headed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lawmaker Sunil Singh, recommended his reinstatement to Speaker Om Birla.
The Lok Sabha secretariat issued a circular after Birla approved the committee report, officials said. On August 19, the day the privileges committee met to start its proceedings against Chowdhury, HT reported that the Congress MP was likely be reinstated after the next meeting. The decision recommending the revocation of Chowdhury’s suspension was “unanimous”, said a functionary. Chowdhury was barred from the Lok Sabha on August 10, pending a probe by the privileges committee of the Lower House of Parliament, for alleged “gross and deliberate misconduct”.
