Mumbai: Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council and Shiv Sena (UBT) Leader Ambadas Danve has been suspended for five days from Legislative over his abusive remark.
On July 1, Prasad Lad accused Ambadas Danve of using abusive language against him and demanded strict action to be taken against him by the Deputy Chairman. There was a massive uproar in the Legislative Council and a heated argument followed between Ambadas Danve and Prasad Lad.
As per an IANS report, "The confrontation took place after LoP and Lad adopted aggressive stands allegedly using unparliamentary language at each other. BJP legislators had demanded a resolution be passed condemning the LoP in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi's statement against Hindus. Lad had raised the issue of Rahul's speech in the Lok Sabha in the Council and initiated the debate by condemning his remarks. Lad along with BJP legislator Pravin Darekar accused the LoP Rahul Gandhi of "insulting" Hindus which was strongly objected by Danve, Congress legislators Bhai Jagtap and Abhijit Wanjari among others which led to a series of disruptions and adjournments. This was followed by the state council being adjourned for the day."
Portions of Rahul Gandhi's speech expunged
Congress MP and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday wrote to Speaker Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla regarding portions of his Parliament speech being expunged. Rahul Gandhi said, "It goes against tenets of Parliamentary democracy."
This was a day after Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla expunged several portions of Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi's speech in the House on Monday June 1. The portions expunged include his comments on Hindus, and PM Narendra Modi-BJP-RSS among others, as per reports.
Rahul Gandhi's Hindu remark and statement on PM Narendra Modi-BJP-RSS NDA drew massive criticism from several MPs, including Union Ministers who raised objections to the words used by Rahul Gandhi during his speech.
