New Delhi. 18 BJP MLAs were suspended for 6 months from the Karnataka Legislative Assembly today. Even the Assembly Speaker lifted the BJP MLA from the House at the hands of the marshals. Assembly Speaker UT Khadar took action against the BJP members who created a ruckus to demand an inquiry into the High Court judge. BJP MLAs were also opposing the bill to give 4 percent reservation to Muslim contractors in government contracts. C.T., a member of the Karnataka Legislative Council Ravi surrounded the Congress government on this matter and said, who imposed the Emergency? The Congress party, who curbed the rights of the people? The Congress party, who arrested the opposition leaders at that time? The Congress party, what can we expect from the Congress party? He has continued the same work by suspending 18 MLAs today. What was our demand? Is the case of honey trap a minor matter? Is this a small issue? A senior minister himself alleged that judges, senior officers, MLAs and ministers are trapped in the honey trap network controlled by powerful persons. After making such serious allegations, now they are silent.

BJP MLA Y Bharat Shetty says that what we are talking about is a serious issue. The speaker has not allowed us to speak in the assembly. The assembly is not allowed to discuss any subject. He is acting like the puppet of CM Siddaramaiah. We had to go to the well. We had no other way left. So we did what we had to do. Another BJP MLA Mahesh Tenginakai said, the decision taken by the Congress party and the speaker today is completely wrong. The BJP was opposing as the opposition and we were raising our concerns.

At the same time, Speaker of Karnataka Legislative Assembly U.T. Khadar said on the suspension of 18 BJP MLAs, I stand with the Constitution. In this case I will not give any response. The people of Karnataka and India have seen the disrespect shown towards the constitutional chair and are sensible enough to decide right and wrong. My duty is to maintain the constitution and I have done so. As far as the session is concerned, we will see when the time comes, I do not know when it will happen.
