Trinamool MP Claims Chat With Piyush Goyal On MP Suspensions. He Replies

Union Minister Piyush Goyal called Saket Gokhale's claim a "false, mischievous piece of fake news".

Hours after a Trinamool MP claimed that Union Minister Piyush Goyal had told him that all Opposition MPs were not being suspended from parliament because it will be a bad look, the minister has said the Opposition MP is "spreading vicious lies with obvious malafide". I HATE to disclose a private informal conversation but this is what happened yesterday & it's devious 👇I asked @PiyushGoyal why the small bunch of us remaining INDIA MPs weren't being suspended in the Rajya Sabha despite protesting in the well. Because 46 of our INDIA… Once again, a false, mischievous piece of fake news by Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale that is now the standard operating manual of the Congress led Ghamandia Gatbandhan. It comes soon after an unprecedented insult of the Hon'ble Vice President of India by Congress leader…

The scathing response was to a post by Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale on the suspension spree of Opposition MPs in both Houses of parliament. A total of 143 MPs have been suspended for misconduct after they demanded a statement by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the huge security breach in parliament last week.

Mr Gokhale claimed that he had asked Mr Goyal why the remaining MPs from INDIA parties were not being suspended.
