New Delhi: Independent MLA from Gujarat Jignesh Mevani was on Friday suspended from the state assembly for a day for “indiscipline” after he repeatedly raised the issue of the murder of a Dalit RTI activist without the speaker’s permission.He was evicted from the house on the orders of speaker Rajendra Trivedi over the issue. Mevani had previously been evicted from the assembly for the same reason on Thursday as well.As soon as the Question Hour came to an end, Mevani, who represents the Vadgam assembly constituency, suddenly raised a poster that carried the picture of the Dalit man killed on March 2 by a mob allegedly in the presence of a policeman. The poster read: “Why you are not arresting the culprits?”He was referring to the incident, in which one Amrabhai Boricha (50), a resident of Sanodar in Ghogha taluka of Bhavnagar, was allegedly killed in the presence of a local police sub inspector.As Mevani’s mic was turned off, he questioned why the BJP government in the state had not arrested the police sub inspector yet. He asked the government to clarify if the Minister of State for Home Pradeepsinh Jadeja was related to the PSI.Also read: Gujarat: Dalit RTI Activist Hacked to Death Allegedly by Kshatriyas He Had Complained AgainstThe speaker then asked Mevani not to indulge in “indiscipline” and sit down. Trivedi also told the MLA that he should first seek permission from him if he wanted to raise any issue.When Mevani did not sit down despite repeated requests, Trivedi asked the sergeants to take the MLA out of the House. Trivedi also suspended the MLA for the day for “indiscipline”. Mevani was then escorted out by the sergeants.The incident comes a day after Gujarat Congress MLAs staged a walkout from the assembly after a heated exchange with BJP members over the issue of law and order in the state, leaving only Mevani in the house representing the opposition, according to a report in the Indian Express.Congress MLA Amit Chavda, during his address on the home department’s budgetary demands, took a jibe at the BJP, and said that several cities in the state were still known by the “local dons”.(With inputs from PTI)
