A New Zealand parliamentary committee proposed that three Maori MPs were suspended for protesting against Haka during work last year.

Opposition MP Hana -Rawhiti Maipi -Clarke started a traditional dance after being asked whether her party supported the controversial bill (which has since been voted) to redefine the country's founding treaty.

The committee ruled that Haka could have "activated" other MPs and regrouped for 21 days was banned for 21 days.

The Maori Party criticized the recommendations as a "warning to all of us fall into line".

"When Tangata Whatua resisted, colonial power reached its highest punishment."

It also said that these are one of the toughest punishments ever made in New Zealand Parliament.

Maori Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters said the three were "out of control of MPs who broke the rules and terrorized others with outrageous Hakas".

Their proposed suspension will vote on Tuesday.

The Treaty Principles Act attempts to redefine the founding treaty between New Zealand and Maori, in the last month - the Government Committee recommended not to continue, 112 votes to vote last month.

The bill has been widely expected to fail, with most major political parties committed to voting.

The right-wing bill party member is a member of the party and is the only MP to vote for it in the second reading on April 10.

The bill was a small party in the ruling Central Right Alliance, and he believed it was necessary to define legally the principles of the Waitangi Treaty - the 1840 treaty between the British royal family and Maori leaders signed during New Zealand's colonization - which was considered to be the race-divided country.

However, critics say the legislation would separate the country and lead to a much-needed support for many Maori people.

The proposed legislation has aroused widespread outrage across the country, with more than 40,000 people participating in protests outside the parliament during the first reading last November.

Before that, thousands of parades participated in the nine-day parade, starting in the far north and ending in Auckland.

Maipi-Clarke, who launched Haka Dance, also tore a copy open when introducing the bill.
