Four more Shiv Sena legislators suspended in Maharashtra

In Maharashtra, four more Shiv Sena legislators were today suspended from the Assembly for a year for creating disturbances in the House. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Harshwardhan Patil said, they insulted the Constitution during their noisy protest and moved a resolution to suspend them for a year. The resolution was approved by a voice vote amid pandemonium, leading to the Speaker adjourning the House for the day. Sena MLA Sanjay Rathod was yesterday suspended after he picked up the silver mace from the Speaker's table on the opening day of winter session of the Legislature. Rathod said, he wanted to raise the issue of farmers' plight, including farmers' suicides and compensation for loss of crop due to unseasonable rains. But he alledged that he was not allowed to speak.
