Legislators should be respectful even while dissenting, says SC on RJD MLC's plea against expulsion

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court has said that legislators should be respectful even while dissenting, as it fixed for final hearing a plea challenging the expulsion of Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Sunil Kumar Singh from the Bihar Legislative Council for his remarks against Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. "Legislators should be respectful even while dissenting," the bench observed after senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for the RJD leader, said that freedom of speech inside the House has been given wide latitude. Mr. Sunil Kumar Singh, considered close to RJD president Lalu Prasad and his family, was charged with raising slogans against Nitish Kumar on February 13 during a heated exchange in the House. In addition to Mr. Sunil Kumar Singh's expulsion, another RJD MLC, Mohd Qari Sohaib, who also engaged in disruptive behaviour on the same day, was suspended for two days.
