Ruckus washes out budget session

RANCHI: The budget session of the state assembly, which was on Thursday adjourned sine die five days before schedule has set a bad precedent in ways more than one.

Four opposition legislators were suspended for the entire session for hurling chairs, throwing slippers and spraying foam at speaker Dinesh Oraon during the winter session in November last year.

Though the speaker agreed in-principle to revoke the suspension a day later, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) legislators Amit Mahto, Paulus Soren, Shashibhushan Samad and Congress MLA Irfan Ansari's suspensions were lifted on Thursday, minutes before the house was adjourned indefinitely. The MLAs, however, had not tendered any apology to the speaker for their behaviour.

However, three Bills concerning establishment of separate private universities, VAT amendment Bill, state minorities commission amendment Bill and amendment bill for Jharkhand state universities were passed through voice vote amid protests by opposition against amendments to the Chotanagpur Tenancy (CNT) Act and Santhal Paragana Tenancy Act.

Due to persistent disruptions by the opposition parties against amendments in the tenancy laws, little over 1,100 questions tabled by legislators for the Raghubar Das government remained unanswered after demonstrations on the floor washed out all the question hours.
