leader of Opposition in Vidhan Sabha Vijender Gupta on Tuesday met President Pranab Mukherjee and urged him to annul the unconstitutional resolution passed by the House condemning Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the demonetisation of high-value currency notes.
He, along with BJP MlAs OP Sharma and Jagdish Pradhan, submitted a memorandum to him in context of the resolution passed by the Delhi Assembly on November 15 against the PM.
Gupta in his letter submitted that the resolution violates Rule 93 of DVS which stipulates that a resolution shall not contain defamatory statements. “The Rule 264 is binding to extent that resolution shall not refer to the officials by name. Therefore, the resolution deserves to be annulled for violations,” said the BJP leader.
Also, he pointed out to the President that Speaker Ram Niwas Goyal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had met and submitted the defective resolution to the President on November 19.
He also said action should be taken against the Chief Minister for misusing the privileged forum of the House of the Delhi Vidhan Sabha.
He appealed the President that the Chief Minister and Dy. Chief Minister must be warned not to interfere in functioning of the House.
