Five RJD legislators were evicted from Bihar legislative council for unruly behaviour during protests over the multi-crore Srijan scam which rocked both houses of the State legislature again on Friday.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who was present in the legislative council when RJD members indulged in unruly behaviour, lambasted the Opposition for “sullying the reputation of the legislative House”.
legislative council Deputy Chairperson Harun Rashid who ordered the house marshals to evict RJD MlCs Subodh Kumar, Ranvijay Singh, Kamre Alam, Radhacharan Seth and Dilip Rai referred the matter to the disciplinary committee for further action against them.
When the legislative council resumed sitting after recess, the RJD MlCs carrying posters and banners trooped into the Well of the House and started raising anti-government slogans. As the MlCs refused to listen to the Chair, house marshals were instructed to evict them.
The chief minister and Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi were present in the House at the time.
JD(U) MlC Neeraj Kumar demanded action against the RJD members and demanded that the case be hand over to the conduct committee. He was supported by CPI member Kedar Pandey, BJP’s Awdesh Kumar Singh and Rajnish Kumar. Rashid then ordered the issue of the RJD MlCs to be handed over to the disciplinary committee.
“The disciplinary committee will look into the matter and if a case is made out against the erring members, action would be taken,” he told reporters.
