Jadeja objects to Modhwadia's interview on Assembly premises

Gujarat parliamentary affairs minister Pradeepsinh Jadeja today objected to the former MLA and Congress leader Arjun Modhwadia's interview to TV channels on the Assembly premises about an alleged land scam.
During the discussion on budget, Jadeja drew Speaker Ganpat Vasava's attention to Modhwadia's interview, and said it might lead the people to believe that the issue (discussed in the interview) had been raised in the house too.
Modhwadia yesterday demanded the resignations of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel over an allotment of land to a firm in Gir sanctuary, alleging that norms were flouted to favour Patel's daughter Anar and her business partners.

He spoke to newschannels at a spot designated for them outside the exit gate of the Assembly.
The minister requested the Speaker to pass an order and prohibit interviews on the premises by those who are not the members of the house. He termed Modhwadia "a former Congress MLA who was rejected by the public".
"Elected representatives can give interviews at that spot about issues raised in the house. In this case the issue never came up in the house. Yet an attempt was made to mislead the people," Jadeja said.

Senior Congress MLA Shaktisinh Gohil defended his party colleague.

"Though I am not an MP, many times I gave interview to TV channels on the Parliament's premises. Even some 'rejected' BJP MPs go there to give interviews. Same is applicable here. Everyone can give interviews at that spot," said Gohil.
"I can understand why the minister took objection; the issue was related to CM's daughter," Gohil said, which led to counter-allegations and ruckus in the house.
Vasava said it was a serious issue and he would conduct an inquiry and then pass a ruling.
