Lok Sabha adopts motion to suspend AAP MP Mann

NEW DELHI: The Lok Sabha has adopted a motion to suspend Aam Aadmi Party MP Bhagwant Mann from the house for the remaining period of the winter session. The move was recommended by a parliamentary committee headed by BJP MP Kirit Somaiya who was probing Mann's actions. The committee, in its report, said, "The committee, after due deliberations, recommends that Bhagwant Mann, MP, be suspended for the remaining period of the current session, i.e., the 10th session of the 16th Lok Sabha." It also said that there were repeated contradictions in his communications and therefore it felt that "tendering of his apology before the committee cannot be treated as unconditional apology." It added, "The conduct of Mann is highly objectionable and exhibits his lack of basic knowledge and etiquette and the responsibilities of the office he holds." The MP was under probe for posting a video footage of the Parliament on social media.
