BJP creates ruckus over allotment in Assembly building
Amid a raging controversy over allotment of a namaz (Islamic prayer) room in the Jharkhand Assembly, Speaker Rabindra Nath Mahto on Thursday formed an all party, seven-member panel, on the last day of the monsoon session to look into the issue and come out with a report within 45 days. The monsoon session that began on September 3 remained stormy and witnessed protests by the main Opposition BJP over the allotment both inside and outside the House. Amid the ruckus by the Opposition, Speaker Mahto said “disruptions” over the issue impacted the Assembly as well as the State, sending a wrong message to the masses.More Related News
