Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct. Unlike the Speaker, the Rajya Sabha Chairman does not have the power to suspend a member. The Chairman may name a member who disregards the authority of the Chair. In such a situation, the House may adopt a motion suspending the member from the service of the House for a period not exceeding the remainder of the session.
Statement 2 is correct. He can “direct any member whose conduct is in his opinion grossly disorderly to withdraw immediately” from the House.
