Deputy chairperson of the house Neelam Gorhe read the suspension order which said, "Leader of Opposition Ambadas Danve demonstrated indiscipline and used foul and abusive language towards legislator Prasad Lad," reported PTI.

"His behaviour tarnished the image and insulted the Council. If his misbehaviour is ignored, it could create a new precedence. A serious note is taken of his misbehaviour, and the house proposes his suspension for five days and ban him from entering the Vidhan Bhavan premises," it added, reported PTI.

Senior Shiv Sena (UBT) legislator Anil Parab demanded that Danve be given an opportunity to present his side, but the demand was not accepted. The opposition later staged a walkout to protest the decision and shouted slogans against Gorhe.

Earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Maharashtra Legislative Council member Prasad Lad demanded the resignation of Leader of Opposition (LoP) from the Uddhav Thackeray faction of the Shiv Sena, Ambadas Danve for using abusive language against him, reported ANI.

"I demand the resignation of LoP Ambadas Danve as he used abusive words aimed at my mother and sister yesterday. I have spoken to the CM and DCM about this incident. Uddhav Thackeray should also ask his leader about this incident. I request the government to take action against Ambadas Danve," Lad said while addressing media today, reported ANI.
