Uncertainty continues in Karnataka with dissidents still entrenched in Chennai. Constitutional nuances are being discussed by all the parties about the role of the Speaker in disqualifying dissidents for anti party activities. Apart from minister Renukacharya and MLA Doddanagowda G Patil remaining dissidents have still not responded in person to the show cause notice issued by the Speaker. The Speaker has refused to accept the written reply given by some of the dissidents. He is likely to take a decision today after five about barring 11 BJP legislatures from voting in the trust vote on Monday. Reacting to the Show cause notice issued by the Speaker, the eight dissident leaders in Karnataka had replied that their intention is only to remove the corrupt government and hence the Provisions of Anti Defection Law does not hold good in their case. They have hence requested the Speaker to withdraw Show Cause Notice against them and dismiss the alleged petition dated 06.10.2010 moved by Chief Minister B.S. Yeddiyurappa. They have argued that the notice is issued with mala-fide intention to seek disqualification of the Answering Respondent and to prevent him from voting in the confidence motion scheduled at 11 am on October 11, 2010. The leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah has also argued that Speaker can act against the Legislatures after they violate the whip issued by the Party.
