Ahmedabad, 23 March, 2012

Suspended from the assembly for third successive day, the Gujarat Congress MLAs today organized mock assembly outside the assembly house. Congress leader CJ Chavda acted as Chief Minister Narendra Modi while Baldevji acted as the Speaker wearing their masks. For the media persons present there, it was a witty and entertaining political event to report. Masks of Anandiben Patel, Vajubhai Vala, Shankar Chaudhary, Jetha Bharwad were also put on face by Congress MLAs and leaders, participating in the mock assembly. Shaktisinh was seen extra energetic during conversation with mock Chief Minister and Speaker. The Congress MLAs were suspended from the house for shouting slogans demanding dismissal of two BJP MLAs who were allegedly watching obscene stuff on iPad. Shankarbhai Chaudhary and Jethabhai Bharwad – MLAs in the center of controversy were cleared by Gandhinagar based Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) later in the day. The Congress party however refused to accept the FSL report claiming that the FSL in Gandhinagar was not credible. They also expressed doubt that the iPad involved could have been changed.
