[New Delhi]Southern Supremo Jayalalithaa Expels Rajya Sabha MP Sasikala Pushpa
Whereas AIADMK MP alleges she was slapped by a “leader” and now facing Life threat in TN
AIADMK MP Sasikala Pushpa, who reportedly slapped DMK lawmaker Trichy Siva at IGI airport on Saturday, today claimed she was slapped by a “leader” and faced threat to life in Tamil Nadu, alleging she was being forced to quit Rajya Sabha.
Pushpa first rushed into the Well of the House to get permission to make her statement and then broke down several times as she said she faced “life threat” from state government
She however did not make it clear who slapped her and when.
A report later said she was expelled from the party by AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa for “anti-party activities”.
Raising the issue, she said “If an MP is being slapped by a leader, where is human dignity,” provoking strong protest from members of her own party AIADMK.
As she found support in opposition members who wanted the chair to allow her to make her full submission, A Navaneethakrishnan (AIADMK) walked into the well and out of it multiple times demanding that her remarks be expunged.
“I want to serve the country (and not resign),” she said.
“I am not here in Rajya Sabha for any benefit.”
