Taking stern action against the violation of organizational discipline, the Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee has suspended five of its MLAs from the party’s primary membership with immediate effect. State Congress President Rao Narendra Singh announced that this disciplinary step has been taken against MLAs Shailly Chaudhary (Narayangarh), Renu Bala (Sadhaura), Jarnail Singh (Ratia), Mohammad Ilyas (Punhana), and Mohammad Izrail (Hathin).

It has been reported that these MLAs voted against the party’s official candidate during the recently held Rajya Sabha elections an act deemed to constitute grave indiscipline. This action was taken upon the recommendation of the State Disciplinary Committee and has also received the approval of the All India Congress Committee President, Mallikarjun Kharge.

He added that this decision serves as a stern message to all leaders and party workers that strict action is inevitable against those who act contrary to the party’s collective decisions.
