Tipra Motha Party (TMP) MLAs on Monday, August 31, demanded an inquiry into the placement of their questions in the Tripura Legislative Assembly, alleging that their questions were listed at the end despite being submitted before those of other legislators.
Raising the issue on the final day of the Assembly session, TMP MLA Ranjit Debbarma said the party’s legislators had been unable to raise public issues during the past three days as their questions were placed last.
Debbarma alleged discrimination and claimed that the TMP had submitted its questions before other legislators. He urged the Speaker to investigate why the party’s questions were listed at the end.
TMP MLAs Biswajit Kalai and Sanjoy Manik Tripura also raised similar concerns and alleged that there could have been a conspiracy behind the placement of their questions.
Following an assurance from Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ratan Lal Nath, Assembly Speaker Rampada Jamatia agreed to conduct an investigation into the matter.
