GANGTOK, 28 June: Former Chief Minister, Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee president Nar Bahadur Bhandari today condemned the suspension of dissident SDF MLA, PS Tamang from the proceedings of the final day of the budget session 2012-13, terming it as ‘pre-planned’.
He stated that the act of the Speaker has lowered the dignity of the Chair. Adding that it was ‘a painful moment in the history of Sikkim Legislative Assembly’ he mentioned that indiscipline began from 1992 when the breach of privilege was evoked against the Leader of the House lowering the dignity of the SLA.
Mr Bhandari further demanding that the Speaker should apologize to the people and members of the house, contended that the Speaker’s action today was “irresponsible” and “biased”. “The whole act of the Speaker was pre-planned and this shouldn’t be repeated in future,” said the former CM.
He further alleged that, “The prescribed and allotted time and topic for discussion should be restricted within the parameters of the proceeding, however, the Speaker allowed other members beyond these parameters which has led to this incident”.
