BJP legislature party unhappy over Himachal Speaker's remarks: LoP
Shimla, August 26
Amidst BJP skipping the all-party meeting convened by Vidhan Sabha Speaker, Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur said the selection of words by Kuldeep Pathania is inappropriate and violation of decency.
Speaker has no realisation
No legislator will accept the kind of words and language that the Vidhan Sabha Speaker is using when talking about MLAs. What is even more unfortunate is the fact that the Speaker does not even have realisation about having made such remarks nor is he apologetic about it. — Jai Ram Thakur, Leader of Opposition
Reacting to BJP skipping the BJP Legislature party meeting today, he said the Reason for not being present at the all party meeting had already been conveyed. “At least Congress has no moral right to talk about not upholding traditions as they have themselves broken traditions in the past,” he remarked.
The Speaker convenes an all-party meeting ahead of the Assembly session to seek cooperation of all political parties for the smooth conduct of the session.
Thakur also said that the BJP Legislature Party was very disappointed and unhappy with the attitude of the state government. “No legislator will accept the kind of words and language that the Vidhan Sabha Speaker is using when talking about MLAs” he said. What is even more unfortunate is the fact that the Speaker does not even have realisation about having made such remarks nor is he apologetic about it.
Thaur said the BJP is concerned about the deteriorating law and order situation and the rampant corruption, which will be raised vociferously during the session.
