They want the Minister to be sacked
Opposition Congress members commenced a dharna in the well of the House on December 17 demanding sacking of Urban Development Minister Bhyrati Basavaraj and a discussion on the FIR filed against him and BJP MLC R. Shankar on the direction of a court in connection with allegations of land-grabbing.
The Congress had sought to discuss the issue in the form of an adjournment motion that has a censuring clause. However, Speaker Vishveshwar Hegde Kageri did not permit them to raise the issue on the ground that the matter is sub-judice.
