Consider the following statements:

1. Unlike the Rajya Sabha Chairman, the Speaker of Lok Sabha cannot suspend a member without adopting a motion for suspension.

2. While the Rajya Sabha Chairman is empowered to place a member under suspension, the authority for revocation of this order is not vested in him.

Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?

1. Unlike the Rajya Sabha Chairman, the Speaker of Lok Sabha cannot suspend a member without adopting a motion for suspension.

Status: Incorrect.

Details: Under Rule 374A of the Lok Sabha Rules, the Speaker has the power of "Automatic Suspension." If the Speaker names a member for persistently obstructing business, that member stands automatically suspended for five consecutive sittings or the remainder of the session, whichever is less. No formal motion is required. The Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, however, does not have this power; the Rajya Sabha must pass a formal motion to suspend a member.

2. While the Rajya Sabha Chairman is empowered to place a member under suspension, the authority for revocation of this order is not vested in him.

Status: Incorrect.

Details: As mentioned above, the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha is not empowered to suspend a member on his own authority; he can only "name" the member, and then a motion must be moved and passed by the House. Since the House suspends the member, only the House (by a motion) can revoke that suspension. The statement is incorrect because it wrongly attributes the power of suspension to the Chairman.
