BJP trying to suppress my voice, Raghav Chadha on breach of privilege complaints against him
New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha on Thursday hit back at the BJP’s allegations that five MPs had forged signatures in a resolution related to the Delhi Services Bill, saying it was trying to suppress their voice. The four MPs have accused Chadha of violating rules and proposing his name for setting up a selection committee without their consent.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar referred the matter to the Privileges Committee for investigation citing complaints from those MPs. In his first reaction after the development, the AAP leader said he would approach the committee and the court on the matter.
He also said in the press conference that it is being misquoted that signature and written consent are required for nomination of members of the selection committee to the Rajya Sabha. “I will approach the privileges committee and the court against the BJP Lok Sabha MPs who have levelled false allegations of forgery against me.”
