New Delhi: The Rajya Sabha on Monday revoked the suspension of four Samajwadi Party members, amongst the seven MPs against whom action was taken for their unruly behaviour before the debate on the Women's Reservation Bill last week.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal moved a motion recommending termination of action taken against Veerpal Singh Yadav, Nand Kishore Yadav, Amir Alam Khan and Kamal Akhtar after question hour in the Rajya Sabha.
The four Samajwadi Party MPs were suspended last week Tuesday along with Subhash Prasad Yadav of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Ejaz Ali of the Janata Dal-United (JD-U) and Sabir Ali of the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) following protests against the bill reserving 33 per cent seats in the Lok Sabha and state legislatures for women.
After the motion was moved, Deputy Chairman K Rahman Khan took sense of the house before announcing that the suspension of four members had been "terminated".
The four Samajwadi Party members had last week met Chairman Hamid Ansari along with other party leaders.
Opposition parties have been demanding that the suspension of all seven members be revoked.
