Supreme Court Asks Raghav Chadha To Tender Unconditional Apology To Rajya Sabha Chairperson
The Supreme Court of India on November 3 suggested suspended AAP MP Raghav Chadha to meet Rajya Sabha chairperson Jagdeep Dhankhar and tender an unconditional apology on the select committee controversy.
Raghav Chadha Suspension
A bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud and Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Misra asked Attorney General R Venkataramani to apprise it of the developments in the matter after the Diwali vacation.
The CJI said the AAP lawmaker will have to meet the Rajya Sabha chairperson to tender an unconditional apology on the issue. The Rajya Sabha chairperson, in turn, may take a sympathetic view of the entire matter and try to find a way forward.
The Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab has been under suspension since August 11 after some MPs, a majority from the ruling BJP, accused him of adding their names to a motion without their consent. It was alleged that he had moved a motion to refer the Delhi Services Bill to the select committee.
