Protesting LJP lawmakers resign from Bihar Assembly | Twelve lawmakers of the Lok Janashakti Party (LJP) resigned from the Bihar Assembly on Thursday in protest against their suspension by Speaker Udai Narain Choudhry. "All the 12 MLAs of the party have submitted their resignation
letters to National President Ram Vilas Paswan and state chief Pashupati Kumar
Paras in protest against their suspension from the State Assembly yesterday,"
said LJP spokesperson Keshav Singh. "The MLAs had submitted their letters at the
state legislature party meeting held in Patna on Wednesday evening and requested
the party leadership to take a decision," he added. Keshav Singh further said
the MLAs felt that their continuance as members of the State Assembly was meaningless,
and asserted that it has denigrated the position of the members of the House.
Choudhry had on Wednesday suspended 67 Opposition MLAs on Wednesday for the rest
of the session for their unruly behaviour in the House, which included 11 MLAs
from the LJP. The MLAs were marshalled out of the house by the watch and ward
staff after a slipper was thrown at the podium of the Speaker. The proposal to
seek the suspension of the MLAs was brought in the House by state parliamentary
affairs in-charge Brijendra Prasad Yadav, which was passed by voice vote amid
protests by opposition members. |
