A day after Congress MLA from Dungarpur, Ganesh Ghogra, tendered his resignation in protest against a case registered against him on charges of obstructing public servants from discharging duty, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday said the law would take its course. Mr. Ghogra had allegedly created a ruckus and locked up some officers in a panchayat building.
Mr. Ghogra sent his resignation as an MLA to Mr. Gehlot and marked its copy to Assembly Speaker C. P. Joshi. Mr. Gehlot told reporters here that while the first information report (FIR) was registered because there was rule of law in the State, Mr. Ghogra should be praised for fighting for people’s rights and raising crucial issues at public forums.
Mr. Ghogra, who is also the Youth Congress’s State president, attended a public hearing at a Panchayat Bhawan in Dungarpur on Tuesday. However, he later staged a dharna over non-issuance of land deeds for a group of local residents and led a crowd which locked up the Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Tehsildar and others inside the building.
