New Delhi: Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister PK Bansal has said a
decision on the seven Rajya Sabha MPs, who were suspended after they created a ruckus during the tabling of the Women's Reservation Bill on Monday, will be taken
soon. "I am hopeful a solution will be arrived at by evening," Bansal
said. The assurance has been given after the opposition parties, whose members
were suspended, continued to disrupt parliament proceedings and demanded roll
back of the suspension order. The suspended MPs are: Samajwadi Party members
Nand
Kishore Yadav, Kamal Akhtar, Aamir Alam Khan, Veerpal Singh Yadav, Rashtriya
Janata
Dal member and party chief Lalu Prasad's brother-in-law Subash Yadav, Lok
Janshakti
Party member Sabir Ali and Janata Dal-United member Ejaz Ali. The motion for
their
suspension was moved by Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Prithviraj
Chavan and was passed by a voice vote. The action was taken under Rule 256 of
the House, for showing total disregard for dignity of Council and authority of
the Chair by obstructing the business of the House.
