Parliament proceedings | Congress MP Rajni Patil’s reinstatement leads to war of words in Rajya Sabha

Nearly six months after her suspension, Congress MP Rajni Patil was reinstated on August 7, just hours ahead of the expected division on the contentious Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill 2023. 

She was suspended on February 10 for the remainder of the Budget Session of Parliament for allegedly video recording and publishing visuals from the Rajya Sabha. The decision was based on a complaint by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP G.V.L. Narasimha Rao against her to Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar.
