It does not look natural: Speaker Ramesh Kumar on MLA Shrimant Patil's health
Assembly adjourned till 4.30 pm following ruckus on floor
Bengaluru: Karnataka Assembly Speaker Ramesh Kumar on Thursday afternoon called on Karnataka Home Minister MB Patil to contact MLA Shrimant Patil’s family immediately.
“Give me detailed report by tomorrow. It does not look natural. If the Home Minister cannot ensure protection I will speak to the Director General of Police in this regard” Ramesh Kumar said.
Reacting to Congress-JD(S) claim that MLA Srimant Patil was abducted by the BJP, Speaker Ramesh Kumar added “What kind of a Speaker would I be if I proceed with a document (letter sent by Patil informing about his ill health) which has no date or letterhead”.
The Speaker has adjourned the Assembly for half an hour after ruckus on the floor of the House. The Assembly will resume proceedings at 4.30 pm.
