Leader of Opposition Gulab Chand Kataria said he can say under oath that this was the first instance where the language in the House stooped to such a low.
The Rajasthan Assembly witnessed ruckus on Thursday after Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLTP) chief Hanuman Beniwal made foul comments against Governor Kalyan Singh during the Governor’s address.
While Singh was addressing the House, Beniwal, his party MLAs and others stormed the Well, raising the issue of the purchase of moong dal and saying that farmers are hitting the streets in protest. He then climbed a platform near the Chair and used foul language for the Governor, triggering protests by the Opposition benches.
Deputy Leader of Opposition, Rajendra Rathore, said the sanctity of the House has been shattered. Speaker C P Joshi said that an issue can be a priority for MLAs, but they will have to follow rules and maintain decorum.
Leader of Opposition Gulab Chand Kataria said he can say under oath that this was the first instance where the language in the House stooped to such a low.
Kataria demanded that Beniwal be removed from the House or the House will not function.
Rathore then stood up to say that while all this was going on, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot was smiling. Gehlot responded by saying that Rathore’s comments are unnecessary.
