KCR’s silence on Speaker’s abuse amounts to his approval: Sridhar Babu
Legislative Affairs Minister D. Sridhar Babu has demanded an apology from K. Chandrashekhar Rao regarding alleged abusive language used by BRS MLCs against the Speaker. The Minister warned that silence from the opposition leader would be viewed as an endorsement of the behavior.
Why it matters
This reflects heightened political tensions in Telangana and concerns over parliamentary decorum and the dignity of constitutional offices.
Legislative Affairs Minister D. Sridhar Babu demanded that Leader of the Opposition K. Chandrashekhar Rao tender an unconditional apology to Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar over the alleged use of abusive language against him by BRS MLCs or else it would be construed as the comments had his backing.
Addressing a press conference after a day of heated developments in the Assembly, Mr. Sridhar Babu said abusing a Dalit Speaker in ‘filthy language’ was unpardonable. “The Speaker was in tears in the House,” he said, adding that the issue was not merely about a Dalit leader but a larger social issue concerning the dignity and self-respect of four crore people of Telangana.
