#BJP member Prabhu Chavan was watching a zoomed in picture of Priyanka Gandhi during proceedings on Thursday.
Use of mobile phones in the #Karnataka #Assembly was banned on Friday, a day after the House was rocked by chaos over a BJP member watching a zoomed in picture of #PriyankaGandhi during proceedings.
#Speaker #Kagodu Thimappa suspended Prabhu Chavan, #BJP legislator whose act caught on TV camera triggered a storm, for a day, and pulled up Housing Minister M H Ambareesh and Congress member S S Mallikarjun for using phones in the House.
“I hereby pronounce that the use of mobile phones in the state assembly is banned. Since #PrabhuChavan was watching a picture in an indecent manner, he is herewith suspended for a day from attending house proceedings,” he said.
The Assembly proceedings were paralysed yesterday amid chaos over the #BJP #MLA’s conduct, with ruling Congress members on the offensive demanding action against the legislator.
