Una, May 31 (UNI) Former Rajya Sabha MP and BJP state vice-president Kirpal Parmar today said the party will approach Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee with a copy of the audio CD, which allegdly exposes corruption, and seek MP Pratibha Singh's suspension from the Lok Sabha.

The party will request the suspension of Ms Singh from the Lok Sabha following corruption charges levelled against her in the CD released by former state tourism minister Vijai Singh Mankotia, he said at a press conference here.

Mr Parmar said the party would also be writing to the Congress high command, seeking removal of Virbhadra Singh as the state's Chief Minister.

Reacting to Revenue Minister Sat Mahajan's statement that former BJP MP Suresh Chandel had stooped low by accepting a paltry bribe of Rs 30,000 in the ''cash for query scam'', he said the people have been informed about the rates charged by the Chief Minister for getting their work done.

''Now Mr Mahajan should disclose the rates of the ministers so that the public could get their work done after arranging for the money'' he added.
