Terming as "unfortunate" Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker's ruling admitting Opposition censure motion on Gujarat, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Tuesday expressed confidence it would be defeated.
Maintaining that law and order was a state subject, he told reporters it was not the job of Parliament to discuss state issues and it should not be treated as a "precedent" in future.
However, Vajpayee said the government would abide by the ruling. Bureau Report
