Jamshedpur, March 4: Jamshedpur East MLA Saryu Roy wrote a letter to the Assembly Speaker, saying – on the lines of the order of the Supreme Court, there should be a provision for action against the minister who gives wrong answer in the Jharkhand Assembly.
Welcoming the Supreme Court decision, Roy said if a minister gives a wrong and misleading answer to the question of an MP or MLA in Parliament or Assembly and it is proved that he is related to the person for whose protection he is giving the answer, If yes, then such ministers should also be prosecuted for corruption.
In a press release, Saryu Roy, informed that he had asked a question to the state health minister Banna Gupta in the Assembly that Renuka Chaudhary, a female doctor from Jamshedpur, took salary despite being absent from service for many years and forged signatures in the attendance register during the period of absence. .
“On August 19, 2013, on the orders of the then Health Secretary, a three-member committee investigated and found that these allegations were true and since the accused doctor had retired by then, an order was passed to completely deduct her salary, but When MLA Saryu Roy raised a related question in the current budget session of the Assembly and earlier, Ranchi Assembly MLA CP Singh in the winter session of the Assembly, the government replied that the attendance register at that time has disappeared from the district tuberculosis office, Jamshedpur,” the release added.
Saryu Roy urged the Speaker of the Assembly to take contempt action against those giving wrong answers in the Assembly, but when the Supreme Court has defined the privileges of MPs and MLAs regarding taking money and asking questions etc., then the question arises whether criminal action against corruption can be taken against a minister who gives wrong answer in the Assembly or not.
