Four MNS MLAs in Maharashtra Assembly suspended for 4 Years

Mumbai: Breaking News! In a significant development, The Maharashtra Assembly passed a privilege motion, which suspended 4 MNS MLAs for four years. These four MLAs had earlier created a ruckus inside the assembly and even manhandled Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi, after he took oath in Hindi. One of the MLAs, Ram Kadam even slapped Abu Azmi.

The privilege motion was moved by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Harshvardhan Patil and all political parties barring the MNS supported the motion. Thus, the Speaker took the decision of suspending four MNS MLAs, Ram Kadam, Sishir Shinde, Vasant Gite and Ramesh Wanjale.

The MNS had earlier justified its action, saying nothing against Marathi language and Marathi Manoos would be tolerated. The party said that Abu Azmi insulted Marathi by taking oath in Hindi. Earlier, Raj Thackeray had asked all MLAs to take oath in Marathi.

Abu Azmi hit back, saying Hindi is the National Language of India and he respects both Hindi and Marathi. He also pointed out to the fact that some of the MLAs took oath in English. Samajwadi Party leaders Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh have slammed the MNS and Congress Party, which allowed Raj Thackeray to grow in Maharashtra.
