Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel asked BJP MLAs to stop sloganeering, saying that it is happening for first time in his tenure as a Speaker in last seven years that LG's address has been interrupted by legislators.
"It was an indecent behaviour by BJP legislators to create noise and trying to interrupt LG's address," Goel said later in House. He warned opposition legislators not to repeat such behaviour in future. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia also reacted to development and asked BJP MLAs to approach Centre for waiver of central GST on movie.
