He also said, usually suspension is for a certain period, but expelling her means lifelong...

The cause for her expulsion from Congress was power tussle. In Nehru's
Words,
"Morarji Desai has rectitude, ability, efficiency and fairness".
And he wanted Morarji to be PM after his death, but younger colleague Lal Bahadur Shastri became the PM, Indira hadn't anticipated Shastri's stature will grow beyond Nehru, but certain events in next 3 yrs
Made LBS immensely popular, his untimely death due to poisoning (I'm not sure whether Indira killed her, but I'm 100% Sure, She Didn't Want The Killer To Be Identified. WHY?)

After LBS death, the true leaders of original Congress wanted Morarji to guide Bharat & Power Hungry
Indira engineered a split, with most bootlickers on her side (few out of fear) the Indira Congress or Congress - I established authority over original Congress at Congress parliamentary meeting on Nov 11, 1969.
