Rajasthan Legislative Assembly Speaker Kailash Meghwal today suspended a Congress legislator Ramesh Meena for a day over disrespect to the Chair and causing uproar during Zero Hour leading to adjournment of the house for 30 minutes.
After hearing that his adjournment motion was rejected, Meena stood from his seat raising his voice on alleged corruption in price and sale of opium in his constituency but the Speaker did not allow him.
On repeated instructions of the Speaker to settle down, the MLA continued to resist and indulged in indecent altercation with the Speaker which led to his suspension.
After repeated warning, the Speaker finally called the Congress legislator's name asking him to go out of the house for the day.
Simultaneously, the Speaker adjourned the House for 30 minutes.
During uproar one more Congress MLA Shravan Kumar and BSP MLA Manoj Kumar also blamed the Speaker for allowing an Independent MLA R S Bhinder to speak on shooting of a film in his hotel.
Opposition members tried to raise issue of crop loss due to yesterday's rain and hailstorm in parts of the state but they were also not allowed to disrupt the proceedings.
