MP Assembly adjourned till Monday

The Chief Minister Digvijay Singh said the Government was ready to get the matter discussed under any provision provided in the rules of the Madhya Pradesh Assembly.

The Speaker, Sriniwas Tiwari, ruled that a half-an-hour discussion on the subject would be held in the House but this did not satisfy the BJP members who continued to demand that an adjournment motion be admitted on the topic.

The Speaker adjourned the House for 30 minutes when BJP members persisted with their demand. But when the House re-assembled, they continued with their demand.

At this stage, the Deputy Speaker, Ishwardas Rohani, who was in the Chair said the BJP members should be satisfied with half-an-hour discussion but they marched into the well of the House, shouting slogans.

When the House was adjourned for lunch-break, Rohani adjourned the Assembly till Monday morning.
