Jagan refuses to apologise furore continues
25 Aug 2014 4:19 AM IST
Refusing to either apologise to the House or withdraw his ‘unparliamentary’ remark made on Friday, YSRC president YS Jaganmohan Reddy on Saturday led his MLAs in a walk-out from the Andhra Pradesh assembly even as Speaker Kodela Siva Prasada Rao and Legislative Affairs Minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu sought to end the pandemonium.
The ruling TDP members, however, persisted with their demand that the Leader of Opposition
tender an apology to the House for using unparliamentary language against the legislators.
The Speaker said the Opposition leader should have observed restraint in using the language in the House and, at the same time, asked the ruling party members also to be restrained.
‘The ruling party members are seeking an apology. I have asked you to withdraw your remark. It will not go into the record. I leave it to your wisdom,’ the Speaker told Jagan.
