Suspended from the House for five days for abusing a fellow member, the Opposition leader in the Legislative Council Ambadas Danve has sent an apology letter to Deputy Chairperson Neelam Gorhe. Meanwhile, Opposition members protested and demanded that the suspension be reviewed.

The suspension was announced on Tuesday. Danve had refused to tender an apology to individuals involved in the incident, but he said he had no issues in tendering an apology to the entire House. People in the know said that the apology letter was likely to have Danve’s suspension cut short.
