PDP moves adjournment motion

The Peoples Democratic Party, which is expressing solidarity with media persons following their boycott against Speaker’s  remarks had staged a walk out for two minutes also this morning, has moved a Motion of Adjournment of Normal Business for February 28-02-2012 under Rule 56.

The motion moved by the party stated that the normal business would become meaningless without media scrutiny and coverage; thus the same be suspended for February 28, 2012 to discuss the issue and appeal to the press to resume normal functioning.

Text of the motion moved stated:

“Since media has gone on boycott of the proceedings of Assembly against the remarks of some ministers and the Presiding Officer made on the floor of the house by them on 27-02-2012 during the course of proceedings , an ugly situation has been created with a potential danger to divide the 4th Estate and Legislature at peril of the larger legislative practices. Also, it has the repercussions which are likely to cause irreparable loss to the state polity. As an immediate consequence, the normal business will become meaningless without media scrutiny and coverage.

Therefore, we move that the same be suspended for 28-02-2012 to discuss this issue of urgent public importance, which also should precede with an appeal to press to resume normal functioning and facilitate task of legislature to accomplish the constitutional obligation in a desirable and cooperative manner in tune with democratic spirit and public good.”
