AIMIM seeks BJP MLA Raja Singh’s expulsion from Assembly

Hyderabad, Aug.24 (Maxim News): The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) on Wednesday sought expulsion of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Goshamahal Raja Singh from the State Legislative Assembly for violating his oath as a MLA.

In a representation to Assembly Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, AIMIM general secretary and MLA Syed Ahmed Pasha Quadri said Raja Singh’s conduct was unbecoming of a member of the House and it has breached the House’s privileges, resulting in collective contempt. He also alleged that the BJP MLA’s remarks have resulted in diminishing the diginity of the Legislative Assembly.

He said that Raja Singh had hurt the sentiments of Muslims across India for making the statement against Prophet Mohammed and Islam and it was a blatant violation of his oath as a Member of the Legislative Assembly.

“Secularism and fraternity are part of the basic structure of the Constitution. Raja Singh has repeatedly incited violence and promoted enmity, hatred and ill-will against Muslims. Thus, he has also violated his oath to uphold the “integrity of India”. His statement is the most recent example proving that he is unfit to be a Member of the House,”the AIMIM leader said.

“The Legislative Assembly has inherent powers under Article 194 of the Constitution to punish any person for breach of privilege and contempt of the House. These powers include the power to expel a member from the House,” Ahmed Pasha added. (Maxim News)
