The Rajya Sabha privileges committee chaired by Deputy chairman of Rajya Sabha, Harivansh will hear the case of 11 Rajya Sabha MPs who were suspended during the last winter session of parliament, on Tuesday.
The matter was referred to the privilege committee in case of these MPs as the House said that these people were ‘repeated offenders’.
Among the 11 suspended with privilege notice, six were from the Congress party, four were from the left parties and one from DMK.
The Congress MPs with privilege motion notice against them are Jebi Mather Hisham, Dr. L. Hanumanthaiah, Bye Neeraj Dangi, Rajmani Patel, Kumar Ketkar & G. C. Chandrashekhar. DMK MP M Mohammad Abdulla and four Left MPs, Binoy Viswam, Sanfish Kumar P, Dr John Brittas and AA Rahim are also on the list.
Interestingly, Kumar Ketkar who is also at the face of the privilege motion is himself a member of the Privilege Committee. He will not be able to be present in the committee since he faces action himself.
Sources say that on Tuesday, the preliminary meeting will take place about the fate of these MPs. None of these MPs have been summoned to appear before the committee on Tuesday. The committee is expected to study in detail about the offences committed by these MPs by violating the rules and procedures of the House.
During the last session of Parliament, 146 were suspended from both Houses of Parliament and 46 among them were from Rajya Sabha itself.
The move came after the MPs refused to allow the house to function till the Prime Minister or the Home Minister came to the floor of the house and addressed the possible reasons that led to the security breach in Parliament.
