NEW DELHI: “Pained” by the recent move to make amendments in the GNCTD Act, Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel on Thursday asserted that he would not allow BJP MLAs to speak even for a second beyond their 20-minute allotted time in the House, saying they did not oppose a move from the Centre that was aimed at snatching the rights of the House.
He said by adopting this system he was “merely doing what Lok Sabha does” in terms of time division for opposition and ruling party members.
Goel alleged that through amendments in the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, the Centre is trying to “snatch away” the power of Delhi Assembly committees.
“I am deeply pained over depriving House Committees of their powers by the Centre. I am in pain because it happened during my period as Assembly’s Speaker. This has never happened in the history of the country. It is shameful,” the Speaker said on the first day of the Monsoon Session.
