 The BJP on Friday said it would move court challenging the State Government for passing the Police Bill in the Assembly on Thursday without the presence of the Opposition.“How can a Government pass a Bill without the presence of the OppositionIJ” wondered BJP State president and MlA KV Singh Deo, adding, “It is illegal, undemocratic and unconstitutional in nature.”

He said the measure would be challenged in court after it becomes an Act. He said the passing of the ‘draconian’ Police Bill violated the Supreme Court’s order. “The manner in which the Government has ignored views of different committees on the sensitive Bill and passed without the presence of the Opposition, it will be struck down by court of law,” he said. leader of the Opposition Narasingha Mishra also supported the view of the BJP and said that the matter should be challenged in the High Court.
