Karnataka Speaker issues notice to 15 rebel MLAs

Bengaluru, July 22

Karnataka Assembly Speaker KR Ramesh Kumar on Monday issued a notice to 15 rebel legislators of the state’s ruling Congress-Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) coalition.

In the notice, the Speaker asked the 15 MLAs to meet him in his office here on Tuesday at 11 am to record their responses on their disqualification following a plea by the ruling parties (Congress and JD-S) after they defied a whip to be present in the House for the floor test. IANS
