Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh Assembly was on Friday adjourned twice during the Question Hour amid bedlam by the ruling Congress members over the alleged statement made by a former BJP MLA against Chief Minister Kamal Nath during a protest. Speaker NP Prajapati adjourned the House twice amid the ruckus due to which a large part of the question hour was washed out.
As soon as the question hour began, members of treasury benches started raising slogans alleging that during a protest on Thursday, former BJP MLA Surendra Nath Singh had threatened that the blood of Chief Minister Kamal Nath will be spilled on the streets.
The Congress MLAs trooped into the Well of the House ignoring the speaker’s appeal. Amid the pandemonium, the speaker adjourned the house for ten minutes. However, when the proceedings resumed, the uproarious scenes continued and the members did not pay heed to the speaker’s appeal to allow him to conduct the question hour. Members of the ruling party again trooped into the well of the house and raised slogans against the opposition BJP.
On the other hand, BJP members were heard saying that they are ready for a discussion on the issue. As the same situation persisted, the speaker again adjourned the house for 15 minutes. After the house re-assembled, Leader of Opposition Gopal Bhargava said the BJP is ready to give an answer provided the Congress members share the reason of their protest.
Prajapati said the statement made by former BJP legislator Surendra Nath Singh or other leaders of any party is deplorable and such language should not be used. In his reply, Bhargava said that it was published across the media platforms that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his speech, has clearly given a message about leading ideal public life.
