Dharamsala: Winter Session of Himachal Pradesh Assembly adjourned sine die without transacting any business on Friday after protests from Opposition disrupted proceedings.
BJP member Ravinder Singh Ravi protested that his adjournment notice for discussion on corruption allegations against Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh were clubbed with Congress MLAs for discussions on development.
Speaker BBL Butail clarified that he was entitled to altering title but Bindal said it "amounted to breach of trust".
BJP MLAs then wanted a discussion on the notice, but Butail refused the House could not discus it was pending before law.
A furious BJP stormed the Well. As sloganeering continued, the speaker adjourned the house sine die.
Leader of the Opposition PK Dhumal called the Speaker’s decision "unfortunate" and accused the Speaker of folding under state government’s pressure to not allow the discussion.
Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh called the BJP’s behaviour "undemocratic" and an "attempt to browbeat the House and the speaker".
