Three Congress MlAs, including former Speaker Kuldeep Sharma were suspended on Tuesday from the Haryana Assembly for six months for tearing the copies of Governor’s Address.

The opposition legislators tore the copies while staging a protest near the Well of the House after party MlAs were suspended for interrupting Haryana Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki during his address to the House on the opening day of the budget session of the Assembly on Monday.

The House passed a resolution suspending former Speaker Kuldeep Sharma, Jaiveer Singh and Jagbir Singh Malik for six months. Besides, the three legislators have also been barred from taking up membership of any Vidhan Sabha Committee for a period of one year, the Speaker Kanwar Pal Gujjar told the House after a resolution in this regard was moved by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ram Bilas Sharma.
