Raghav Chadha, AAP MP and Parineeti Chopra’s fiance made a proposal in the Parliament to set up a new committee that would go through the bill and decide whether to pass it or not. In his proposal, he named 5 MPs. Four Rajya Sabha MPs – S Phangnon Konyak and Narhari Amin of BJP, M Thambidurai of AIADMK and Sasmit Patra of BJD – said that their names were included in the proposal without their permission. Piyush Goyal from the BJP said that Chadha had forged the signatures and he must be suspended from his post of MP. Piyush proposed this in the parliament. Chadha’s motion of suspension was moved by Piyush Goyal who stated that the AAP leader’s conduct was unethical and unbecoming of a parliamentarian. Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said, "I suspend Raghav Chadha from the service of the Council till the Council has the benefit of the report by the Committee of Privileges." In a media address on Thursday Chadha said the allegations were baseless and that an MP can propose the name of any MP without their written consent for a select committee. He said that he would approach the Committee of Privileges and the court against the BJP members who leveled the allegations of forgery against him. He showed the rule book to defend his position. He said that the Narendra Modi government has started a tradition of getting those members who speak against it suspended. Chadha also asked how the question of forgery arise when no signatures were taken and submitted. "I challenge the BJP to show the papers that have the forged signatures as alleged by them. The Parliamentary Bulletin on complaints against me has no mention of forgery, fake signatures," Chadha said. He said that the BJP moved against him because he exposed the party’s double standards and demanded justice for the people of Delhi.
