The dismissal of Belgaum Municipal Corporation by the Karnataka State Government had severe repercussions in both the houses of Maharahstra Legislature on the fifth day of the on-going Winter Session in Nagpur on Friday. Taking note of the fervent reactions of all-party colleagues, both the houses passed unanimously a strong resolution condemning the act and urging the Centre to look into the matter in order to take immediate remedial action.Meanwhile, the proceedings in both the houses were adjourned five times due to the uproar.While moving the resolution in the Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister Mr. Prithviraj Chavan said the Marathi-speaking populace in the border areas was being subjected to injustice for the last five decades and the decision to dismiss the Belgaum Municipal Corporation taken by the Karnataka Government was illegal and extra-constitutional.Denouncing the oppressive act, he further said that the Union Government would be urged to direct the State to reinstate the local body and declare the border areas as the Union Territory pending the Supreme Court verdict on the vexed inter-state border issue. Mr. Chavan also called for safeguarding the fundamental rights of the linguistic minorities and stringent action on the State Government for the anti-democratic act.Leader of the Opposition Mr. Eknath Khadse expressed the support of his party to the contents of the resolution barring the part requesting initiation of action against the Karnataka Government. Leaders of other parties also extended full support to the cause and similar resolutions were passed unanimously by both the houses after brief discussion.
