Jharkhand Parliamentary Affairs Minister Saryu Roy today asked the opposition to submit the original letter purportedly written by a company accusing a BJP MLA of demanding extortion and employment.
Roy asked Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) Legislature Party leader Pradip Yadav to submit the original copy in the state assembly and reveal its source as the government had not received any such letter.
Roy's response came during the course of debate over Motion of Thanks on the Governor's address when Yadav referred to the purported letter dated January 27 against BJP MLA Dhullu Mahto.
Yadav asserted that he was saying with responsibility on the letter against Mahto.
Mahto, who has since called for a probe to find the truth, had yesterday demanded he be allowed to defend himself in the House on the issue as the opposition reportedly raised it on the previous day.
He, however, refrained after Speaker Dinesh Oraon informed him that the House proceedings on Monday did not mention any issue pertaining to him.
