Shimla, Mar 7 (UNI) The Himachal Pradesh Assembly today witnessed noisy scenes with the opposition BJP members resorting to slogan shouting against the state government in the House during the Question Hour.
As soon as the Question Hour began, Mohinder Singh (BJP) demanded discussion on corruption, based on BJP charge sheet, referring to the adjournment motion notice sent by BJP members to Speaker Gangu Ram Musafir.
On this, the Speaker said he had rejected the notices for adjournment motion.
The Question Hour continued, even as the BJP members got up from their seats and raised loud slogans against the state government.
After some time, all the BJP members left the House.
They, however, returned to the House, after the Question Hour was over.
State Parliamentary Affairs minister Kaul Singh Thakur condemned the opposition members for their behaviour, which he said has against the established rules.
He said the BJP was baffled over the pro-people budget presented by Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh and was trying to mislead the people of the state.
