Congress MLAs face suspension in Gujarat Assembly

Leader of Opposition Shankarsinh Vaghela demanded that the House should be adjourned immediately after paying homage to those who died.

Citing precedent, Vaghela said when the Godhra train burning incident took place on February 27, 2002, the then Chief Minister ( Narendra Modi) had moved adjournment motion to suspend proceedings of the House after paying homage to 59 people who died in the incident.

“Today, I want to move an adjournment motion in the House for those who have died in the police atrocities during the two-days of violence. We should be allowed to pay homage to them and later the House should adjourn,” Vaghela said.

However, state minister Nitin Patel rejected the Opposition’s demand.

Congress MLA from Jamangar, Raghavji Patel also raised the issue of the ongoing unrest after police lathi-charged on the Patel rally on August 25 at GMDC ground.
