Zero Hour lasts 15 minutes, gets expunged

GANGTOK, 26 June: Zero Hour in the Legislative Assembly lasted a brief 15 minutes today with the SKM president Prem Singh Tamang getting cut short as he went on the offensive countering comments made by the Chief Minister in his closing remarks on the Motions of Thanks on the Governor's address yesterday.

Speaker KN Rai, quoting extant rules on Assembly Procedure, said that there was no provision in the rules for a 'Zero hour' and declared the discussion and statements of Mr. Tamang as expunged from the proceedings of the assembly.
