Bahujan Samajwadi Party leader Mayawati must reconsider her decision to resign from the Upper House, Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairperson P.J. Kurien said on Wednesday.
“None of us, especially me, are happy about what happened. I always allow more time to her, and we all respect her as a very senior leader. It was a communication gap, a misunderstanding ... there’s no feeling against her. The House will ask her to reconsider the decision, I have no doubt about that,” he said.
Various sections of the House, including Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad and Tapan Sen of the CPI(M), made the request.
Following this, Mr. Kurien said: “It is the desire of the House that she should take back her [resignation] letter.”
