Modhwadia demands suspension of Modi and Amit Shah

Gandhinagar, Mar 7 (UNI) Leader of the Opposition in the Gujarat Assembly Arjun Modhwadia today demanded the suspension of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Minister of State for Home Amit Shah for ''asking the police to get signatures on blank forms meant for asking the Legislative Assembly questions''.

The Opposition Leader requested Speaker Mangaldas Patel to suspend them as it was a serious violation of Article 194. He said this was an encroachment on special rights of legislators.

Mr Modhwadia said police had approached MLAs before the Budget session to sign on blank Assembly question forms. These forms which are submitted under rule 73, 74 and 75 of the Assembly, were to be used for asking ''positive'' questions in the House, he alleged.
