Gandhinagar:

After the ‘indecent’ incident in Gujarat assembly today, DyCM Nitin Patel has put a proposal in the house for suspension of Congress MLA Pradip Dudhat and Ambrish Der for a period of 3 years and Baldevji Thakor for a period of one year as an ‘exemplary punishment’ for their act which has put a black blot in the legislative history of the state.

Dudhat had snatched a mic to attack fellow BJP MLA Jagdish Panchal in the house and Congress MLA Ambrish Der had openly hurled abuses at the speaker while Thakor had allegedly threatened BJP members.

Soon after the house assembled again following the adjournment in the wake of the incident, Patel put forth the proposal saying that the whole house has earned a bad-name owing to the act of merely 3 to 4 members. They should be given exemplary punishment.

Minister of legislative affairs supported the proposal.

Meanwhile, Congress objected to the proposal saying that BJP MLAs Panchal and Harsh Singhavi, who had instigated the Congress MLAs should also be suspended from the house for a period of 3 years.
