Action against lawbreakers during Tipu Jayanti: DCM Parameshwar
Bengaluru, November 4: Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar said that the government would celebrate the Tipu Jayanti this year also despite the opposition from certain sections of the society.
Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, the DCM said that BJP people have been opposing the Tipu Jayanti unnecessarily. In spite of their opposition, the government would celebrate the jayanti, he said.
Reacting to the mention of Ananth Kumar Hegde in the invitation card, the DCM said that his name was included as per the protocol and it was left to him to participate in the programme. He has good respect towards Chidananda Murthy. Every individual has freedom of expression. As per this, they have expressed their opposition. But since Tipu Jayanti issue was decided much before, the government would conduct the jayanti, he clarified.
BJP people have been trying to disturb peace and harmony in the name of Tipu Jayanti. But the government would allow this to happen. It would not tolerate if any person violated the law and order situation. He would discuss with the senior police officers on taking precautionary measures to maintain law and order, he said.
Exuding confidence that the coalition would win all the five seats in the by-election, Parameshwar said that BJP people were experts in luring the people and operation lotus. Chandrashekar has realized his mistake and returned to his party. The Congress has not lured him, he said.
Cabinet expansion and appointment to the boards and corporation would be made after by-election results. The government would follow the Supreme Court order in bursting crackers during Diwali festival, he said.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
