Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri says members of all legislative Houses are expected to obey rules of procedure and maintain discipline
Karnataka Assembly Speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri defended the suspension of 12 opposition members from the session by the Rajya Sabha chairman saying their conduct was not in line with parliamentary discipline.
He told journalists in Belagavi on December 2 that members of all legislative Houses are expected to obey rules of procedure and maintain discipline. “What is happening in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha are painful developments. Members should avoid them. They should maintain high attendance, and engage in discussions by raising constructive, pro-people issues,” he said.
