Maharashtra: BJP workers protest against suspension of MLAs
India Today
Twelve BJP MLAs were suspended on Monday from the Assembly for a year after the Maharashtra government accused them of "misbehaving" with presiding officer Bhaskar Jadhav in the Speaker's chamber.
BJP workers on Tuesday staged protests across the state against the suspension of the party's 12 MLAs from the Assembly, while its leaders held a "parallel session" on the premises of the legislature to oppose the action. In Pune, city BJP chief Jagdish Mulik said it was a murder of democracy. "On the first day of the monsoon session, when BJP was trying to voice the concerns of OBCs and trying to get political reservation for them, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) suspended our 12 MLAs. It is a murder of democracy, this is a Mughal rule," he said during a demonstration.More Related News
