Speaker urged to initiate proceedings against MLA Sudhir Sharma

Seventeen Congress legislators have written to the Vidhan Sabha Speaker Kuldeep Pathania to initiate Privilege Motion proceedings against BJP MLA from Dharamasala Sudhir Sharma for trying to tarnish the image of the CM by resorting to misleading propaganda.

The letter has been signed by nine Congress legislators, including Ram Kumar, Hardeep Bawa, Suresh Kumar, Capt Ranjit Singh Rana, Vivek Sharma, Rakesh Kalia, Sanjay Rattan, Kishori and Mohan Lal Brakta.

The Congress legislators have pointed out that when the Speaker had not even taken a decision whether Sudhir’s request for Privilege Motion be sent to the Privileges Committee of the Vidhan Sabha or not, Sharma made the information public through his social media handles. “This act is a violation of procedural decorum of the house and constitutional status of the Speaker and as such the matter be referred to the Privileges Committee of the Vidhan Sabha,” they urged in their letter addressed to the Speaker.
