Haryana govt running away from issues, alleges INLD

Main Opposition Indian National Lok Dal today alleged the Bhupinder Singh Hooda government for running away from issues, including CLU scam, saying the Haryana government was feeling scared to face the Opposition in the state Assembly.
"The government is running away from issues and is feeling scared to face the Opposition, which is why they find ways to suspend us on some ground or the other," INLD's senior leader and party MLA Abhay Singh Chautala told reporters here on the sidelines of the ongoing Budget session of the Assembly.
"The scam-hit Hooda regime knows that presence of strong Opposition inside Assembly will unmask its real face before the public," he said.

Yesterday, the Speaker had suspended 25 INLD MLAs for the rest of the ongoing Budget session for creating unruly scenes in the House over alleged cash-for-land use licence scam.
However, the Speaker revoked the decision today, the Opposition members did not take part in the proceedings. They are free to attend the session on Friday when the budget estimates for 2014-15 will be presented in the House.
The Speaker had called today INLD's Ashok Arora, BJP's Anil Vij and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Randeep Singh Surjewala in his chamber in a bid to find way so that the suspended members could be called back.

"We had only demanded government's reply on the fate of the Haryana Lokayukta report, which had last month recommended registration of a case against Congress MLA and Chief Parliamentary Secretary Ram Kishen Fauji, in the CLU scandal, but just for this reason our members were suspended. We only wanted Chief Minister's reply on this," Chautala, who is leading his party in the House in the absence of jailed leaders Om Prakash Chautala and Ajay Chautala, said.

Arora and Abhay Chautala had escaped the suspension yesterday as they were not present inside the House at the time when the Speaker had named the unruly members.

Arora, who is the party's state unit chief, demanded that a Commission be set up to probe the alleged land scams in the state.
"There are several burning issues including the agitation by the farmers and the employees in support of their various demands, but government is trying to escape having a debate on these issues," he claimed.
