An inquiry has been ordered into the behaviour of Samajwadi Party leader Abu Asim Azmi in the Maharashtra Assembly and its premises by the protem Speaker.
Protem Speaker Ganpatrao Deshmukh made the announcement following repeated demands by Opposition members, who alleged Azmi had made provocative speeches and insulted Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray.
"A detailed inquiry of the matter would be conducted by Principal Secretary of the House as demanded by the Opposition parties and the report would be submitted to the Speaker of the House," Deshmukh said.
Leader of Opposition Eknath Khadse had said that Azmi's misbehaviour in the House should be taken into consideration and action taken against him. Deshmukh said the government would also probe the allegation by the Opposition parties that Azmi was inciting people outside the House.
