Legislator Prashant Paricharak, an independent member backed by the ruling BJP who was suspended from the Maharashtra Legislative Council after his comments about Army jawans' wives led to outrage, was allowed to enter the Upper House Thursday.
Council Chairman Ramraje Nimbalkar announced the decision.
"Paricharak's suspension had been already revoked on February 28, but due to Shiv Sena house leader Anil Parab's objection, I had restrained him from entering the House," he said.
"I held a meeting of all party leaders in my chamber and the issue was amicably resolved. I now allow him to enter the House and he can participate in the proceedings," Nimbalkar said.
Paricharak had once again tendered apology, he added.
However, Congress' house leader Sharad Ranpise took objection to the decision.
Addressing a rally in Solapur for local bodies elections in 2017, Paricharak said, "A soldier gets a telegram from his wife that she has delivered a baby and he distributes sweets to his colleagues on the border, though he has not visited home for a whole year."
