Suspension of two Maharashtra MLAs, belonging to opposition Shiv Sena and MNS respectively, was revoked today.
MNS's Pravin Darekar was suspended last week over objectionable remarks in the House, while Omraje Nimbalkar (Shiv Sena) had been suspended in April for trying to seize the Speaker's mace to draw attention to drought in Marathwada.
The announcement was made by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Harshwardhan Patil, who said the legislators had apologised for their conduct and had assured that the behaviour won't be repeated.
Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan had yesterday indicated that suspension of the two MLAs would be revoked.
"We will take a positive decision by tomorrow," Chavan had informed the Assembly, after opposition leaders demanded that the legislators' suspension be revoked.
Two days ago, the opposition had staged a nine-hour sit-in agitation in the House after it was adjourned for the day, to protest "gagging" by the Congress-NCP government.
