Violation of the rules by Speaker, opp will seek answers in budget session: Vipin

Dharamshala, Jan – On Friday, the last day of the Vidhansabha winter session, the opposition staged a walkout from the House raising slogans for not giving an opportunity to speak in the discussion on the motion of thanks on the Governor’s address.
Former Assembly Speaker Vipin Singh Parmar, who is leading the opposition in absence of Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur in the House, said that it was decided in the Speaker’s chamber in the morning that four people each from both sides would speak on the motion of thanks. The opposition followed these rules, while the top leaders of the ruling party handed over the slips to the Speaker to speak on the proposal.
When the opposition raised questions on this system, the Speaker started talking about privilege. Alleged that the Speaker of the Assembly is repeatedly violating the rules. These institutions and assembly traditions run from the books. The speaker should discharge them properly. Members of the opposition will seek answers from him in the budget session. Parmar said that the Governor’s address was to be discussed on the third day of the House, but there was no roadmap for the promises made to the public in the six-page address. As a formality, the governor had to read out the address in helplessness.
Parmar said that the Congress government has flouted the mandate. The cabinet has not been formed even after 25 days. The members of the ruling party left the House even before the Governor’s speech. The Congress has used the whip of dictatorship on the people by closing the institutions during their 25-day tenure. A scattered government will be buried under its own burden, Parmar predicted.
