Cong. seeks HDK’s suspension from Assembly
The Hindu
Party accuses him of belittling constitutional post
The Congress party in Mysuru has urged the Legislative Assembly Speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri to suspend former Chief Minister and JD (S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy from the Assembly for reportedly belittling the post of Leader of the Opposition, which is a constitutional post.
Addressing a press conference in Mysuru on Wednesday, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) spokesperson M. Lakshmana said Mr. Kumaraswamy’s “unparliamentary” description of a constitutionally-recognised post attracts proceedings under the breach of privilege motion. Hence, the Speaker should suo motu take cognisance of the remarks and suspend the JD(S) leader and also consider cancellation of his membership.
Mr. Lakshmana claimed that the post of Leader of Opposition in the Assembly is like a “shadow” Chief Minister. The Leader of the Opposition acts like a watchdog against the Chief Minister, he said while seeking to remind Mr. Kumaraswamy that the post had been adorned by tallest leaders of the State including his father and former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, besides former Chief Ministers D. Devaraj Urs, S.M. Krishna, B.S. Yediyurappa and himself (Mr. Kumaraswamy).
