Three BJP MLAs suspended from Rajasthan Assembly

Three BJP MLAs were suspended for one year for unruly behaviour in the assembly House. Speaker Deependra Singh Shekhawat on Tuesday suspended Gyan Dev Ahuja, Hem Singh Bhadana and Bhawani Singh Rajawat for one year. While BJP has decided to boycott all the parliamentary committees of the state assembly and also of the government. “We are going to boycott House committees and also the government functions until the suspensions are revoked,” said leader of Opposition Vasundhara Raje. She said the action of the Speaker was unwarranted and should be revoked immediately.

The House had witnessed unprecedented scenes on Monday as the slogan-shouting Opposition members stormed the well of the House, throwing files and jumping over the tables of the support staff after the Speaker sought the help of marshals to run the House. There was pandemonium with BJP leaders demanding the Governor’s immediate approval of the special quota for Gujjars and the economically backward among forward castes that the Raje regime had cleared. Congress MLA Pratap Singh Khachariawas then demanded action against the Opposition MLAs for misbehaving with the Speaker and the watch and ward. Suspension passed by voice vote.
