304. The facts of the case of expulsion of Mr Subramanian Swamy from Rajya Sabha are narrated by Subhash C. Kashyap in his Parliamentary Procedure (Vol. 2, p.1657). It appears that Rajya Sabha adopted a motion on 2-9-1976 appointing a committee to investigate the conduct and activities of the said Member, within and outside the country, including alleged anti-India propaganda calculated to bring into disrepute Parliament and other democratic institutions of the country and generally behaving in a manner unworthy of a Member. The Committee presented its report on 12-11-1976 recommending expulsion as his conduct was found to be derogatory to the dignity of the House and inconsistent with the standards which it was entitled to expect from its Members. On 15-11-1976, a motion was adopted by Rajya Sabha expelling the Member.
