Aam Aadmi Party leader Raghav Chadha has been suspended from Rajya Sabha for 'misconduct' after four MPs accused him of nominating them for a house panel without their consent.
Chadha will remain suspended till the privileges committee submits a report on the accusations.
Chadha claimed the allegations of forgery were “baseless”, adding that any member can propose the name of any other member without the written consent of the member or signature.
"I challenge the BJP to show the papers that have the forged signatures as alleged by them. The Parliamentary Bulletin on complaints against me has no mention of forgery, fake signatures," Chadha said and added that the BJP was "trying to suppress his voice".

He alleged that the BJP is after him because he "exposed" the party's "double standards" and also demanded justice for the people of Delhi. "But I will fight. I am not scared of the BJP," he added.
