We met the Chairman and asked him to revoke the suspension of the 12 MPs of the House so that they too could be a part of the discussions and the House function properly. We will discuss and debate on all issues and cooperate with each other.But that talk didn't go through, a piece of advice was put forth that either all of them apologise or at least the LoP say that what happened was not right & they're seeking an apology. We said it's not right & it won't happen as they were suspended illegally.
