New Delhi [India], September 13 : CPI(M) Rajya Sabha MP KK Ragesh has given the suspension of business notice under rule 267 in Rajya Sabha, demanding that the House expresses serious concerns on the "NDA government naming CPM General Secretary Sitaram Yechury as a co-conspirator" in the violence that took place in North East Delhi in February this year.
