Dhankhar reinstates Raghav Chadha's RS membership

Rajya Sabha Privileges Committee met in Parliament on Sunday afternoon to discuss the suspension of AAP leader Kechadha. In this meeting, the decision to withdraw the suspension of Raghav Chaddha was taken.

In a video message after the withdrawal of suspension, Raghav Chadha said, "My suspension (from the Rajya Sabha as a member) was revoked due to the intervention of the Supreme Court. The suspension was revoked through a resolution in the House. I was suspended for 115 days." I could not ask people's questions during this period. Today I thank the Honorable Supreme Court and the Rajya Sabha Chairman.

Chadha was suspended from the Upper House on August 11 this year for "breach of privilege" following complaints. The MP was accused of not taking the consent of five Rajya Sabha MPs before including their names in the select committee.
