New Delhi: The Parliamentary Committee, which probed the MPLADS controversy, today(Mar 14,2006) recommended suspension till March 22 of four MPs for 'improper conduct'in the implementation of the scheme.

In its report, the Committee, headed by V Kishore Chandra S.Deo, held that the conduct of Churchil Alemao, Paras Nath Yadav, Faggan Singh Kulaste and Ramswaroop Koli was 'not above board'.

In its 51-page report, the Committee recommended only suspension and not expulsion as was done in the cash-for-query scam, saying the 'improper conduct on their part did not strictly speaking relate to their Parliamentary duties and none of them was actually shown as accepting money'.
