Gandhinagar, 29 February, 2012

The Gujarat Assembly was adjourned four times today following refusal by the Leader of Opposition Shaktisinh Gohil (Congress) to apologize even after the order of the Speaker.

During the question answer hour, Gohil reacted to minister Dilip Sanghani’s remark and said that ‘you have a partnership with Adani’.

On this, Sanghani challenged Gohil to prove that he had partnership with Adani. Sanghani raised point of order against what he said a personal and baseless allegation of Gohil.

When the Speaker in his ruling asked Gohil to apologize, he refused to do so.

Sanghani said that either Shaktisinh should apologize before the house for baseless allegation or if he proves that I am partner of Adani, I will resign.

Reacting to this Shaktisinh Said that the Speaker, Modhwadia and Sanghani should check what he said and then whatever is the decision, he will accept it.

After an adjournment, even when the Speaker gave ruling that as per the rule no. 37 Shaktisinh should apologize, Shaktisinh didn’t apologize. The house was adjourned for the fourth time thus.
