Congress bucks up to amplify expulsion row
The Congress Legislature Party on Friday has decided to launch an agitation against the government demanding implementation of the High Court order on expulsion of MLAs from the Assembly.
Hyderabad: The Congress Legislature Party on Friday has decided to launch an agitation against the government demanding implementation of the High Court order on expulsion of MLAs from the Assembly.
The CLP met under the chairmanship of its leader K Jana Reddy and discussed the expulsions issue. The meeting chalked out a programme to bring pressure on the government.
Addressing the media after the meeting, PCC president N Uttam Kumar Reddy said that they would meet the President and would apprise him of the situation in the State. The MLAs would meet the Speaker of the Assembly on June 11 and demand him to implement the court orders.
Uttam said that they would meet the Chief Secretary and submit a memorandum on the orders of the court. A 24-hour hunger strike would be held besides public meetings in Alampur and Nalgonda.
The PCC president said that they would bring out a leaflet on the undemocratic activities of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and would distribute it all over the State.
He said that the Chief Minister, who did not honour the orders of the court, has no moral right to continue in the office. He wanted to know whether the judgments of the courts did not have respect under TRS rule. Uttam further added that they have been contemplating to file a contempt petition in the court on the attitude of Assembly and government officials.
He criticised that aspirations of people that their lives would improve after formation of Telangana have been watered down. The government led by KCR has been indulging in repression. The government has behaved undemocratically in the expulsion of Congress MLAs.
He made it clear that they have objected to the speech of the Governor for the lies being told in it. It was not correct on the part of the Assembly and government to ignore the directions of the court. The government has falsely alleged that Chairman of Legislative Council was hurt with their agitation in the Assembly hall. Though the court has found fault with the decision of the Assembly and directed it to restore the membership of the MLAs, it was not done.
CLP leader Jana Reddy said that the CLP meeting was an informal one and there was no wrong in holding it at his residence. He made it clear that the issue of en masse resignation of Congress MLAs was not discussed in the meeting.
