Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel suspended BJP legislator Vijender Gupta today for a year till the next Budget session for allegedly obstructing the proceedings of the House.
Earlier in the day, Mr Gupta had given a notice for breach of privileges over alleged leaking of Budget details.
To this, Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel had said, "As per rules, such a notice needs to be given three hours before. You are also saying that it should be taken up for discussion. It seems the aim is to create a ruckus and waste the time of the House."
The speaker also issued a strict warning to Mr Gupta. The notice given by him mentioned the leaking of details of the 'Outcome Budget', which was tabled in the Assembly on Monday.
