DMK leader SR Parthiban’s name was among the 14 Opposition MPs suspended from Lok Sabha.
The government later clarified that Parthiban's inclusion was a case of 'mistaken identity'.
Parthiban has a background in law and agriculture. Salem MP won with a margin of 1.46 lakh votes in 2019.
He is known for raising issues such as loan waivers, fair pricing, and improved working conditions.
He faced a case in 2019 for allegedly defaming the then Chief Minister Edappadi K Palanisamy.
