An MLA ate pan masala and spat in the UP Assembly

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) – Uttar Pradesh Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana on Tuesday said that some Assembly members spit in the Vidhan Sabha hall after consuming pan masala.

Addressing the members before the commencement of the House today, Mahana revealed that he personally cleaned the area after receiving information about the incident. While he acknowledged having seen the MLA involved in the act through a video, he refrained from naming the individual to avoid public humiliation.

“I urge all Members that if they see anyone doing this, they should stop them. Keeping this Assembly clean is our responsibility. If the MLA in question comes and tells me that they have done this, it will be good; otherwise, I will call them,” he said.

Editorial Perspective

It is shameful for the people that the people elect such people and send them to the Assembly to make laws.
