Referring to the suspension of 25 INLD MLAs today for the remainder of the Budget session for their unruly behaviour, Hooda said, "in a democratic set up, it is the responsibility of both the ruling party and the opposition to ensure smooth functioning of the House."
25 INLD MLAs were suspended by Haryana Assembly Speaker Kuldeep Sharma for the rest of the ongoing Budget session for creating unruly scenes in the House over alleged cash-for-land use licence scam.
On being asked to comment on the Lokayukta report in the alleged cash-for-land use licence scandal, Hooda said the state government had referred back the matter to the Lokayukta for review.
"Now, Lokayukta has given its report and the government is examining it," he said.
"I have directed that those found guilty in the case should not be spared and the innocent should not be implicated," he added.
