Andhra Pradesh Assembly speaker Thammineni Sitaram had referred the “unruly behaviour” of the TDP MLAs in the House, to the Ethics Committee of the Assembly.
He made this announcement following the request by Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy and the ruling party legislators on Wednesday.
As soon as the House met on the day, the TDP MLAs rushed to the Speaker’s Podium and raised slogans against the House, the government and even blamed the Speaker. They tried to stall the proceedings of the House on the day and obstructed the proceedings.
Finally, after two-hours of commotion, the TDP MLAs staged a walk out from the House in protest.
Following this, the chief minister sought some disciplinary action against the TDP for disturbing the house, disrespecting the chair and resorting to unruly behaviour.
The ruling party members also echoed the feelings expressed by the chief minister and requested the Speaker to take action against the TDP MLAs before taking up the business of the House for the day.
Responding to the members, the Speaker said he was pained at the attitude of the TDP MLAs.
He said that the TDP MLAs were coming to the House with a determined agenda to disrupt the House and dishonour the chair.
He also felt that the TDP was targeting him because he is from weaker sections.
“I may be from the weaker sections, but I am not a weak man,” warned the Speaker.
He said he is liberal in handling the proceedings of the House, but would be tough in acting against the undisciplined members.
