Kalsaria thrown out of House

It all began when state Congress president and MLA Arjun Modhwadia raised a point of order over alleged police atrocities on children and women of Mahuva while they were trying to come to the Assembly.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Dilip Sanghani objected to Modhwadia’s attempt to raise the issue and requested the Speaker not to allow him to speak on the same. At this point,Kalsaria trooped into the Well near Speaker’s chair and demanded that he be allowed to speak on the issue.

Speaker Ganpat Vasava then ordered the sergeants to take Kalsaria out of the House.

Sanghani then proposed to suspend Kalsaria and was supported by all BJP MLAs. The Speaker agreed and suspended the Mahuva MLA from the House.

Following this,Congress staged a walkout from the House.

Later,Kalsaria said,“As an MLA,I have the right to speak on any issue concerning me in the House and the Speaker cannot stop us as per rules. Speaker intentionally stopped me from speaking. It is an insult of democracy and violation of human rights.”

“It’s very unfortunate that the state government has not shown any sympathy even for children and women,who were thrashed and arrested forcibly. But they will keep keep fighting for their rights,” he said.

On the Supreme Court order to form a panel to

visit the site of proposed cement plant at Mahuva,

the BJP MLA said,“Finally,we have got justice from

the apex court. At last,there is a shown some ray of

hope. We have won half the battle but will continue our fight till the state government does not withdraw mining lease from Nirma on our land.”
