Singh along with other opposition MPs has been sitting on a protest before Gandhi statue in Parliament premises after his suspension on Tuesday.

The AAP MP, one of the more vocal voices in Rajya Sabha, was suspended for repeatedly "violating" the directives of the Chair after he rushed to the well of the House and pointed at the Chair during protest by opposition members on the Manipur issue.

He alleged that he was suspended for demanding a statement from the prime minister on Manipur issue in Parliament and said he will not remain silent.

Several MPs of opposition parties, including Naseer Hussain, Jebi Mather, Ranjeet Ranjan, Raghav Chadha, KR Suresh Reddy and K Keshava Rao, have given adjournment notices in Rajya Sabha under Rule 267 for a discussion on Manipur issue.

In the Lok Sabha, party MPs Manish Tewari and Manickam Tagore have given adjournment notice for suspending all other business and discussing the Manipur issue.
