Lucknow, December 17: In a┬аshocking┬аincident for the ruling Yogi Adityanath Government in Uttar Pradesh, hundreds of Bharatiya Janata Party legislators sat on a dharna inside the state Assembly on Tuesday. They were protesting against the state government, accusing that they were┬аnot being to allowed to speak and their voices are being curbed inside the Assembly, by the government which is in a state of arrogance and high-handedness.
According to reports, the whole drama unfolded when BJP MLA from Loni -- Nand Kishor Gurjar -- was not allowed to speak in the assembly. He was speaking against the assault case┬аwhich was registered against him by Ghaziabad SSP Sidhir Singh. When Gurjar tried to present his case, he was asked to be silent by the Speaker Hriday Narayan Dikshit and this incited him to sit on a dharna inside the the house. Uttar Pradesh: 6 Booked in Mau District for Raping Class 10 Student.
He was soon joined by hundreds of BJP MLAs. Following this, Leader of Opposition and Samajwadi Party leader Ram Govind Chaudhary, too joined in the protest and raised slogans against the Speaker.┬аAs per reports,┬аDikshit reportedly said that the 'insult of one MLA is equal to insulting all the MLAs'. On the other side side, opposition leaders stated that if the MLAs of the ruling party were not allowed to speak in the assembly, how can the opposition expect to be heard.
