Legislative Assembly Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday defended suspension of 10 BJP MLAs and said he had taken “minimum action” against legislators who had indulged in “indecent and disrespectful conduct” by tearing up bills and hurling them at the Chair on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters after the conclusion of the State Budget session on Friday, the Speaker said suspension was part of “practical training” to MLAs on conduct, referring to the three-day training programme organised for first-time MLAs prior to the start of the Budget session in which they were taught theory.
