Suspended MP Priyanka Chaturvedi steps down as host of Sansad TV show

'I believe injustice has been done but as it is considered valid in the eyes of the chair, I must respect it', she wrote in a letter

Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi - who was among the dozen lawmakers suspended from Rajya Sabha for unruly behaviour - has stepped down as the anchor of Sansad TV’s show Meri Kahani.

In this regard, Chaturvedi has written to Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu the copies of which were marked to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and CEO of Sansad TV.

In a tweet, Chaturvedi said, “It is with anguish that I step down as anchor of Sandad TV’s ’s show Meri Kahani, I am unwilling to occupy space on Sansad TV for a show but denied space on it for discharging parliament duties due to arbitrary suspension. Hence as much as I was committed to the show, I must step away.”

Chaturvedi has pointed out: “That this suspension also chose to disregard my parliamentary track record and my contribution beyond the call of duty so as to give a platform to women parliamentarians to share their journey, I believe injustice has been done but as it is considered valid in the eyes of the chair, I must respect it.”
