Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, on August 30, revoked the suspension of Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury from the lower house. The decision was taken hours after the Lok Sabha’s Privileges Committee, headed by BJP MP Sunil Kumar Singh, unanimously recommended that the Speaker revoke the suspension of Mr. Cowdhury. The Lok Sabha secretariat issued a circular announcing the decision. “The suspension of Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, MP from the service of the House which was effected on August 10 till the submission of the report by the Committee of Privileges, has been revoked with effect from August 30,” the circular said.
