Rebel Janta Dal (United) MPs Sharad Yadav and Ali Anwar have been disqualified from the Rajya Sabha. A communication from Chairman of the House M Venkaiah Naidu last night said they cease to be Rajya Sabha members with immediate effect.

The Rajya Sabha chairman agreed to the JDU’s contention that the two senior leaders had ''voluntarily given up'' their membership by defying their party’s directives and attending events of opposition parties.

The JD(U) had sought their disqualification on the grounds that they had attended a rally of opposition parties in Patna in violation of its direction.
