Danve was accused of using abusive language against BJP legislator Prasad Lad during a discussion in the council on Monday evening

Lad had demanded a resolution condemning Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's 'not Hindus' remarks in the Lok Sabha, which elicited a sharp reaction from the Sena (UBT) leader

The council was adjourned three times after the incident as BJP legislators remained firm on their demand that action be taken against Danve

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."

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 Deputy chairperson of the house Neelam Gorhe

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday said the decision to suspend Ambadas Danve, the Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra legislative council, was one-sided and a pre-planned conspiracy

Meanwhile, BJP leader Prasad Lad sat on the steps of Vidhan Bhawan and protested against the abuses used against him by Ambadas Danve on Tuesday
