Suspension of five Shiv Sena MLAs revoked

Showing a friendly gesture, the ruling Congress-NCP alliance today revoked the suspension of five Shiv Sena MLAs who had created a ruckus on the first day of the winter session of Maharashtra assembly.

The five Sena legislators Sanjay Rathod, Ashish Jaiswal, Abhijeet Arsul, Sharad Patil and Ravindra Waikar had climbed the podium of the speaker and snatched the silver mace from his table on December 1.

Parliamentary affairs minister Harshwardhan Patil had moved a resolution to suspend Sanjay Rathod till the end of the session, the same day.

On December 2, Patil again moved a resolution to suspend the five MLAs till the next winter session of Maharashtra Legislature.

Today, Patil revoked their suspension on the penultimate day of the winter session.
