Opposition leader in the Legislative Council Ambadas Danve was suspended for five days from the monsoon session proceedings for abusing the BJP’s Prasad Lad on the floor of the House on Monday.

The ruling party members protested and demanded a harsh punishment for Danve and a resolution to this effect was tabled on Tuesday. The controversial incident happened on Monday after the remarks on Hindutva made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi were objected to in the Lower House.
