Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Eatala Rajender was suspended from the service of the House (Assembly) for the remainder of the session on Tuesday after the government moved a motion for the same stating that the member had made insulting remarks against the Chair (Speaker) on the first day of the monsoon session on September 6.
Chief Whip D. Vinay Bhaskar raised the issue as soon as the House convened for the day and stated that Mr. Rajender had insulted the Chair and he must tender an apology. He noted that no member had used such a word (robot) referring to the Chair even during the combined Andhra Pradesh.
Mr. Rajender said he had been a member of the august House for nearly two decades had never disrespected the Chair. He sought to know from the Treasury benches as to how they could decided whether he had respect for the Chair or not.
