Explanation:
Under Rule 374 A, the Speaker of House of the People doesnot have the power to decide the term of suspension, instead the member will be automatically suspended for a period of 5 consecutive sittings. Under Rule 256, a motion needs to be passed in the Council of States to suspend a member, as there is no parallel to Rule 374 A in the Council of States.
