Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Raghav Chadha on Saturday changed his bio on X, earlier known as Twitter, to Suspended Member of Parliament.  This comes a day after Chadha was suspended from Rajya Sabha for gross violation of rules, misconduct, defiant attitude and contemptuous conduct, pending a report by the privileges committee.

His suspension on Friday followed a motion moved by Leader of the House Piyush Goyal who sought action against the AAP leader for including names of some members of the Upper House without their consent in a proposed select committee for the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023.

In a statement issued on Friday night, Chadha said, My suspension serves as a stark message from the BJP to today's youth: If you dare to ask questions, we will crush your voice. I was suspended for asking tough questions that left the BJP, the world's largest party, without answers through my speech in Parliament on Delhi Service Bill.

My crime was exposing the BJP's double standards on Delhi's statehood and asking them to follow Advani-vaad and Vajpayee-vad. The fact that a 34-year-old MP showed them a mirror and held them accountable, left them scarred.
