Taking note of Para’s post on X following Malik's arrest on Monday, the Speaker on Wednesday issued the show-cause notice to the opposition MLA as to why breach of privilege or contempt proceedings not be initiated against him.

Rather directed Para to explain his position before the Speaker in person or in writing within seven days.
