Congress to approach courts for disqualification of Assam MLAs involved in 'anti-party' activities

Congress general secretary in-charge of Assam Jitendra Singh on Sunday said the party will approach the courts for disqualification of its MLAs who are involved in "anti-party" activities after the Assembly Speaker "failed" to act on its petitions to cancel their membership of the House.

"We have already written to the Speaker seeking disqualification of Congress MLAs indulging in anti-party activities. That the Speaker is not acting against them shows that the BJP government is not following rules," Mr. Singh said, addressing a press conference in Guwahati.

He said the party will now approach the high court and even the Supreme Court, if needed, to get these legislators disqualified.
