Soon after his suspension from the BSP, party MP Danish Ali on Saturday said he never indulged in any kind of anti-party activities and only raised his voice against the BJP-led government’s “anti-people” policies, asserting that if this was his “crime”, he was ready to face punishment for it.
He said party supremo Mayawati’s decision to suspend him was “unfortunate”.
The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) on Saturday suspended Ali for “anti-party” activities. In a brief statement, the party’s Uttar Pradesh unit said Ali, the MP from Amroha, has been suspended for anti-party activities.
The move comes a day after Ali walked out of Lok Sabha proceedings along with other opposition members to protest against the government’s motion to expel TMC member Mahua Moitra for “unethical conduct”. Other Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) members remained seated in the House.
In a post in Hindi on X after his suspension from the party, Ali said he was grateful to BSP chief Mayawati for giving him a party ticket
