Jaipur: Annoyed by the suspension of one
of its MLAs, BJP today did not let Speaker to run the
Question Hour in Rajasthan assembly by placing a Censure
Motion against Home Minister Shanti Dhariwal for his alleged
indecent language, leading to repeated adjournments.
BJP MLA Hanuman Beniwal was suspended "unruly
behaviour" in the House yesterday.
As the House assembled, BJP Whip R S Rathore and
Deputy Leader G S Tiwari asked Speaker Dipender Singh
Shekhawat to take up the motion placed under section 119 of
assembly rules and procedures, which was rejected by
Shekhawat.
This prompted all BJP members to rush to the Well,
raising slogans against Dhariwal.
Tiwari demanded that the Question Hour be dropped and
motion be carried for debate.
Tiwari alleged that Home Minister had threatened BJP
member in the House for raising corruption charges.
Within six minutes of Question Hour, the Speaker
adjourned the House for one hour and later it was adjourned
twice more.
Later outside the House, the BJP MLAs led by Tiwari
circulated the original motion in which Home Minister's
abusive words were mentioned, but it was expunged in
yesterday's proceedings. Tiwari also demanded that the CD of
yesterday's proceedings be released for public.
