Speaker relents on unruly MPs
Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee on Monday ended a standoff with the Opposition, by saying that he would withdraw his decision to refer the "disorderly conduct" of 32 MPs to the Privileges Committee. The move followed an understanding reached by Chatterjee, Leader of the House Pranab Mukherjee and Leader of the Opposition L.K. Advani.
As the controversy ended, the three month long budget session of the House was adjourned sine die four days before schedule amid protests by the CPI and without taking up the Women's Reservation Bill.
As the House assembled at 2 pm after a two hour adjournment, Mukherjee and Advani urged the Speaker to reconsider his action against the MPs who had defied his pleas when they were protesting against price rise on April 24.
