Bengal Speaker likely to issue ruling against LoP Suvendu

Kolkata, June 11 (UNI) West Bengal Assembly Speaker Biman Banerjee is expected to issue a ruling against leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari on Wednesday after four ruling TMC ministers brought a privilege motion against the BJP leader and submitted it to the chair, assembly sources said.

Senior ministers -- Chandrima Bhattacharya, Shovandeb Chatterjee, Aroop Bioswas and Indranil Sen -- jointly bought the privilege on Tuesday evening and submitted it to the Speaker accusing Adhikari of breaching the Assembly code by making "defamatory and untrue" statements about Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee outside the floor of the House.

The Speaker confirmed receiving the motion and quoted Adhikari as saying the "Chief Minister batted for Pakistan in the House." The Speaker said the matter would be discussed later on Wednesday and he is expected to issue a ruling on the matter.

According to sources, the Nandigram MLA may face suspension on the issue as he had faced similar action for one month in mid-February last for his comment against Mamata.
