suspended Danish Ali for "anti-party" activities. In a brief statement, the party's Uttar Pradesh unit said Danish Ali, the MP from Amroha, has been suspended for anti-party activities.
The move comes a day after Danish Ali walked out of Lok Sabha proceedings along with other Opposition members to protest against the motion to expel TMC member Mahua Moitra for "unethical conduct" in the cash-for-query case. Other Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) members remained seated in the House.

"The decision that happened yesterday, I consider it my responsibility that when injustice is being done to a woman parliamentarian, I should stand by her.
I stood up against it inside the ethics committee (as a member) and also yesterday," the Amroha MP said. "I will stand up if the honour of a woman is attacked.
I consider it a badge of honour that when injustice was happening I stood up inside the committee and outside and will continue to do so," he said. Danish Ali was recently in the news after he was verbally abused by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ramesh Bidhuri who made objectionable remarks against the BSP MP during a session inside Parliament.Milestone Alert!
