BJP's Suvendu Adhikari Faces Privilege Motion For Remarks Against Bengal Speaker
NDTV
The nature of the comments made by BJP's Suvendu Adhikari is not only disrespectful but also an insult to the chair, said a Trinamool MLA.
A privilege motion was on Friday moved against Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari for his "disrespectful" remarks against West Bengal Assembly Speaker Biman Banerjee, a day the Nandigram legislator's suspension in the House was revoked.
Mr Banerjee on Thursday withdrew the suspension order he had issued against seven BJP MLAs, including Mr Adhikari.
Trinamool MLA Partha Bhowmick moved the motion against Mr Adhikari, after the BJP legislator, while airing his views on MLA Mukul Roy's disqualification case, apparently made a disparaging remark against the speaker.
Earlier this month, Mr Banerjee had rejected a plea by Mr Adhikari to disqualify Mr Roy, saying that he did not find merit in the argument of the petitioner.
