MLAs of the ruling Congress and DMK, its ally in Puducherry, have sought action against Lt Governor Kiran Bedi for allegedly committing breach of privilege of the state assembly with her "derogatory" remarks against the House and its members.
The MLAs called on Speaker V Vaithilingam and submitted a memorandum to him seeking action against Bedi, who is involved in a running feud with the V Narayanasamy government over various issues.
Signed by seven of the 15 Congress lawmakers and one of the two DMK MLAs, the memorandum alleged comments and statements made by Bedi were "derogatory in nature and cast a slur on the privileges of the members and the House as a whole."
