The suspension came after Union Minister of Parliamentary affairs Pralhad Joshi earlier wrote a letter to Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu, who is the Vice-President, for shocking violence on the last day of the Monsson Session.

She further said that “I must thank Sansad TV team for having worked with me and making it an enriching experience for me, I am certain they will also understand the reason for my inability to see entire commitment of getting share their story through a platform they truly deserved to have and which helped them share their trials and tribulations to reach the Parliament. I look back at having discharged my duty in that role also with as much sincerity as that of a Parliamentarian.
