Kataria alleged that the government was trying to protect the culprits and should give a reply.

The Opposition also alleged that unruly comment has been made from the ruling side.

Speaker CP Joshi assured that if such thing has happened, it would be expunged from the house proceedings.

Kataria said: “The matter is serious and people are angry. If the state government has taken any action they should inform the house.”
