Haryana MLAs can now use a flag with the Vidhan Sabha logo on their vehicle so that they can be identified while travelling by road, Speaker Gian Chand Gupta said at the state assembly here on Tuesday.
Gupta said the decision was taken after several legislators pointed out that on many occasions they faced humiliation at toll plazas as they were told to prove their identity. He said allowing legislators to use the flag in no way amounts to a “VIP culture”.
The flag carries the logo of the Vidhan Sabha and just identifies an MLA, he said. Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said the move aimed at ensuring the identification of the MLAs. He said the MLAs faced problems while travelling by road, especially at toll barriers.
