Privilege notice against Gaur

Bhopal, Mar 16 (UNI) Madhya Pradesh Assembly Speaker Ishwardas Rohani today informed the House that a notice for breach of privilege against former chief minister and senior BJP leader Babulal Gaur was under his consideration and a decision on it would be taken on merit.

The Speaker made the comment during the Zero Hour when senior Congress member Satyadeo Katare pressed for taking up the notice for discussion. He disallowed the member from giving details of the notice and further discussion on it.

In his notice, Mr Katare said Mr Gaur, during discussion on the budgetary demands of his Commerce and Industries portfolios for 2007-08, had made disparaging remarks against women bringing dishonour to the house. The entire house was shocked over Mr Gaur's behaviour, he added.
