AAP MP Raghav Chadha moves SC challenging suspension from Rajya Sabha

Aam Aadmi Party MP Raghav Chadha on Tuesday moved the Supreme Court challenging his suspension from Rajya Sabha.

The 34-year-old lawmaker was suspended from the Rajya Sabha on 11 August  for "breach of privilege" after complaints from four MPs.

Chadha was accused of not taking the consent of five Rajya Sabha MPs before including their name to a Select Committee.

The MP has been suspended from the Rajya Sabha until the committee of privileges probing the case against him submits its report.

Five Rajya Sabha MPs - S Phangnon Konyak, Narhari Amin and Sudhanshu Trivedi of the BJP, M Thambidurai of AIADMK and Sasmit Patra of BJD — alleged that their name was included without their consent in a Select Committee moved by Chadha in the House.
