INTUC youth wing urges minister Zameer to take action against Mithun Rai
Mangaluru, October 11: The Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) urged Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan to take action against district Youth Congress President Mithun Rai and his friends for assaulting INTUC South Assembly Constituency Unit President Puneeth Shetty in front of the party leaders in a programme recently.
In a memorandum submitted to the Minister at the Circuit House here on Thursday, Puneeth Shetty said that he has involved in the INTUC for the one year. He has been working for the party. Unable to tolerate his popularity, Mithun Rai has formed his own students organization by suppressing the NSUI in the district. In front of the party leaders, Rai had assaulted him in a programme. So, the party should take stringent action against Mithun Rai, he demanded.

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.
