Taking strong exception to the highly derogatory language used by the BJP MLA from Khanpur, Pranav Singh ‘ Champion’ in a video which has gone viral on the social media, the state unit of Congress has demanded that the governor of Uttarakhand and speaker of the state assembly should take cognisance of the MLA’s act. The state spokesperson of Congress, Garima Dasauni said that Champion had crossed all limits of decency and civilised behaviour.
Castigating the MLA, she said that it is shameful that a four-time MLA is seen boozing and dancing while holding pistol in his mouth and carbine in his hands. She said that Champion is using a highly abusive language for the state to which he belongs and is an MLA from one of its constituencies. “It appears that Champion is cocking a snook at the so called culture and discipline of BJP by dancing in an inebriated state with firearms,’’ she said. It is really surprising that the BJP, which enjoys an overwhelming majority with 57 members in the Uttarakhand assembly is tolerating this shameless MLA and not daring to take any action on him.
She said that recently Champion threatened to kill a media person in Delhi and had not cared to appear before the inquiry committee set up by BJP on his tiff with another MLA of his own party. Dasuani reminded that Champion had made a derogatory remark on Mahatma Gandhi and said that the governor Baby Rani Maurya and speaker of Uttarakhand assembly Prem Chand Agarwal should take note of the issue.
