Later, the suspended MPs shot off a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, alleging that Pal suspended them after he received a phone call during the meeting. The MPs said that the JPC chief does not have the power to suspend the members and urged Birla to instruct him to conduct the proceedings in a fair manner.
