Two Congress legislators were on Wednesday suspended for an unprecedented three years from the Gujarat Assembly and another for one year after members came to blows over a demand for a discussion on the death of two children in Sabarmati's Asaram Ashram.
Speaker Rajendra Trivedi suspended Pratap Dudhat and Amrish Der for three years and Baldev Thakore for a year following acrimonious scenes in the state assembly. The entire opposition Congress staged a walkout after the strong action by the Speaker. The disruptions erupted when Congress MLA Vikram Madam sought to raise a point of order over the death of two children in the Ashram in 2008, even as BJP's Pradeepsinh Jadeja wanted a discussion on wastage of time in the House.
