Speaker's outburst unprecedented: Mahto

Jamshedpur, Jul 07 (UNI) Opposition leader in the Jharkhand Assembly Sudhir Mahto today said Speaker Inder Singh Namdhari's recent allegation of horbouring criminals against the state Home Minister Sudesh Mahto was unprecedented in the parliamentary democracy.

Mr Mahto told newspersons here that the Arjun government was totally ''exposed'' after Speaker's outburst against his Cabinet Minister at a public meeting in Daltonganj on July 4.

He said the internal contradictions in the NDA coalition would lead the fall of the BJP-led government. He, however, ruled out the possibiltiy of a mid-term poll but asserted that the UPA would form the government after the dismissal of the ruling government.

Mr Mahto, a JMM leader, also urged state Governor Syed Sibte Razi to dismiss the government as it had lost all moral rights to continue in power.
