After the cancellation of his suspension from the Parliament, the Rajya Sabha MP issued a statement.

He mentioned, “Today, my suspension has been quashed by bringing a motion in the parliament.

Chadha said, “For these 115 days, I couldn’t ask your questions from the government and was unable to raise my voice for your rights.

The answers you’re seeking from the government I couldn’t get back to you due to my suspension. I’m glad that after 115 days my suspension has been revoked. I’m thankful to the Supreme Court and Rajya Sabha chairman.”

Upon appearing at the first Rajya Sabha winter session, Chadha recounted the number of “calls, texts and meetings” which gave him the strength to fight against the harsh situation that he had found himself in.
