GUWAHATI: A Maharashtra legislator’s purported suggestion that stray dogs be sent to Assam where its meat is in demand led to opposition MLAs creating a ruckus in the House here on Friday, disrupting governor Gulab Chand Kataria‘s cutomary speech on the opening day of the budget session and staging a walkout later.
As Kataria started reading his speech, the opposition MLAs demanded that the House be told what steps have been taken against the Janashakti Party legislator, Bachchu Kadu from Achalpur constituency of Maharashtra.
Congress legislator Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha, who raised the issue, questioned the Assam government’s “inaction” against Kadu and pointed out that a police team from the state had recently reached New Delhi to arrest party leader Pawan Khera for his alleged derogatory remarks against PM Narendra Modi.
AIUDF MLA Rafikul Islam urged speaker Biswajit Daimary to take suo motu cognizance of breach of privilege against Kadu and demanded that the Maharashtra legislator be made to “come to the Assam Assembly and apologise”.
Islam’s colleague Aminul Islam claimed that Kadu was among the MLAs, who had camped in Guwahati last year during the change of government in the western state.
