BENGALURU: Karnataka assembly Speaker U T Khader on Wednesday suspended 10 BJP MLAs for their “indecent and disrespectful conduct” in the House.
The suspended MLAs are Dr CN Ashwath Narayan, V Sunil Kumar, R Ashoka, Araga Jnanendra (all former ministers), D Vedavyasa Kamath, Yashpal Suvarna, Dheeraj Muniraj, A Umanath Kotian, Arvind Bellad, and Y Bharath Shetty.
The assembly session, which commenced on July 3, is scheduled to conclude on July 21.
The Speaker’s decision came in response to chaotic scenes that unfolded in the House. During the turmoil, some BJP members tore copies of bills and agenda papers, throwing them at the Chair. The reason for their outburst was their dissatisfaction with the Speaker’s decision to continue the House proceedings without providing a lunch break.
The chaotic scenes occurred amidst the BJP’s ongoing protest against the Congress government. The BJP accused the government of “misusing” IAS officers to impede opposition leaders’ meetings over the past two days. The tense atmosphere in the assembly led to the Speaker taking disciplinary action against the offending MLAs to maintain decorum and uphold the dignity of the legislative assembly.
The Speaker said, “I am naming them (the 10 MLAs) because of their indecent and disrespectful conduct,” following which Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister H K Patil said the House responds to his “anguish”.
“I am presenting this proposal…I request you that on this day under section 348 of the Karnataka Assembly Rules of Procedure, these members should be suspended from the Karnataka Assembly till the rest of the session for their indecent and disrespectful conduct, and should be barred from entering the House,” Patil said.
The Speaker said, “With extreme anguish, I am putting this motion to vote. Based on the voice vote, the 10 members were suspended from the assembly”.
