Narendra Kumar was brutally crushed to death by a tractor allegedly by the 'mining mafia' in Morena district of Madhya Pradesh on March 8.
The opposition Congress had stalled the proceedings of the House and forced an adjournment demanding a CBI probe into IPS officer's death and illegal mining activities in the state.
"We respect the wishes of the family of the IPS officer. His wife and IPS officer Madhurani Teotia wanted a CBI probe. We have decided to write to the centre to handover the probe into the circumstances led to his death to the CBI", Chouhan told in the assembly premises after the House was adjourned abruptly.
In an unprecedented move, opposition Congress in Madhya Pradesh Vidhan Sabha Tuesday stalled debate on its own notice for adjournment motion on the killing of IPS officer Narendra Kumar by the "mining mafia" in Morena district, demanding a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the circumstanced led to his death and into the alleged rampant illegal mining activities in the state.
"It's perhaps for the first time in Parliamentary and legislative history that the opposition is not allowing debate on an adjournment motion, moved by them. It's unprecedented", Speaker Ishwardas Rohani quipped as the opposition legislators trooped in to the well of the house, raising slogans and pressing for a CBI inquiry.
As soon as the House assembled for the day, opposition members were on their feet raising the issue of killing of IPS officer Narendra Kumar in Morena district, pointing out that they have submitted notices for an adjournment motion. But, chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan stumped the opposition, promptly agreeing for a debate and requested the Speaker to take up the debate immediately after suspending the question hour.
As the speaker began reading out the opposition sponsored notice for adjournment motion on the issue, the opposition members changed their strategy and demanded pressing for an announcement for handing over the case to the CBI. "Announce a CBI probe first, and then debate", opposition members raised slogans and trooped into the well of the house.
Speaker's repeated plea to the opposition to resume their seats and participate in the debate went unheeded as they continued to raise slogans. As noisy scenes continued for more than half an hour, the speaker said the opposition doesn't seem to be interested in debate hence would take up the remaining business for the day.
Even as slogans shouting continued and amidst pandemonium, the ruling party members hastily participated in the debate on general budget. Finance Minister Raghavji replied to the debate.
