Deputing IAS officers for political meet leads to chaos in both Houses

The State Budget session proceedings in both the Legislative Assembly and Council were disrupted on Wednesday amid ruckus and protests by the Opposition over deputing 30 IAS officers to receive political leaders who attended a meeting of Opposition parties in Bengaluru held on July 17 and 18.

The House plunged into chaos with unruly scenes and sloganeering after BJP members tore the papers and Bills and tossed them at Deputy Speaker Rudrappa Lamani who was in the Chair.

The unruly scenes occurred when BJP members were staging a dharna in the well of the House seeking an apology from the State government for deputing IAS officers as liaison officers for political leaders of other States during the second conclave of the Opposition parties.
