Akhil Gogoi Challenges Assam Chief Minister Over His Remark On Power Of MLAs
NDTV
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had said at a programme on July 6 that MLAs can frame laws in the assembly but it is the duty of the ministers to implement them and government officers will listen to the ministers.
Assam MLA Akhil Gogoi on Thursday slammed Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for his statement that legislators do not have any power other than framing laws, and challenged him to show the relevant rule in this regard. The CPI(M) also said that Mr Sarma's statement shows his "anti-democratic and autocratic" nature, which should be opposed by every concerned citizen of the state. "The Assam Chief Minister tried to reduce the power of MLAs. His statement was against the established norms, many Supreme Court judgements outlining the power of an MLA and the spirit of the Constitution. It is very dangerous for our democracy," Mr Gogoi told a press conference in Guwahati. Mr Gogoi, the Raijor Dal president, challenged Mr Sarma to show the clause in the law which says an MLA does not have any power other than framing laws inside the assembly.
