Dy Chmn Khoth revokes suspension of Cong leaders

Bangalore, Mar 9: Karnataka Legislative Council Deputy Chairman Sacchidanda Khoth today revoked suspension of 37 Congress members to enable proceedings of the House run smoothly from March 14.

In a release issued by the Council Chairman's office here, Mr Khoth said that since there was no subject on the agenda Mr N Thippanna, who discharged the duties as the Chairman, had adjourned the House on February 20 itself as against the scheduled February 21.

He said he would read out the message sent by Governor T N Chaturvedi on March 14 and urge him to fix a date for conducting election to the Chairman's post.

The Congress members were suspended for the remaining part of the session on that day for vehemently protesting against delay in holding the elections and disrupting the house proceedings.
