Chair announces suspension of Derek O'Brien but decides against putting motion to vote

A 'suspension' that created RS drama

CONFUSION prevailed in the Rajya Sabha for a brief time on Tuesday over Trinamool Congress MP Derek O'Brien's 'suspension'.

The Chair first announced O'Brien's suspension, which was immediately flashed across media. However, later in the day, Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar clarified that the motion to suspend the MP was not put to vote, and hence he could continue to attend the House.

It all started with a heated argument between O'Brien and the Chair. Following this, Leader of House Piyush Goyal moved a motion for O'Brien's suspension for "continuously disturbing the proceedings of the House and disobeying the Chair".
