Chaos prevailed in the Legislative Assembly throughout the day’s session on Monday as the combined Opposition BJP and JD(S) staged a vociferous dharna demanding that Housing Minister B.Z. Zameer Ahmed Khan should be sacked for his remarks on the Speaker’s chair.
When Mr. Zameer stood up to reply to the House on the queries related to his department during the Question Hour, Leader of the Opposition R. Ashok objected to the Minister being allowed to participate in transaction of official business of the legislature. He alleged that the Minister had brought disgrace to the Speaker’s chair and also tried to strain the Hindu-Muslim communal harmony through his reported remarks during the Telangana poll campaign that “all the BJP MLAs have to bow their head in the Karnataka Assembly before the Muslim speaker who was appointed by the Congress government.”
