Rebel leader Sachin Pilot’s camp challenges disqualification notice in court

[ad_1]

Sachin Pilot and other Congress rebels moved the Rajasthan high court on Thursday against the disqualification notice issued by assembly speaker CP Joshi to disqualify them as MLAs. The ruling Congress has sought their disqualification from the assembly for ‘anti-party activities’. The notice issued stated disqualification of the MLAs from assembly under the Tenth Schedule of the constitution of India. The MLAs were asked to respond to the speaker’s notice by Friday.

The case will be heard by the court at 3pm.

The MLAs deliberately absented themselves from the Congress legislature party meeting held on July 13 and 14.

Despite Pilot categorically ruling out joining the BJP amid the power tussle within the Rajasthan unit, the Congress has alleged that he was colluding with the opposition party to topple the state government.

On Tuesday, the Congress sacked Pilot – credited with leading the party’s successful campaign in the 2018 assembly elections – both as deputy chief minister and also from the Pradesh Congress Committee chief posts. His two loyalists were also sacked as ministers.

On another track, the party has been making overtures with Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala calling upon Pilot and his supporters to stop all conversations with the BJP and return to Jaipur to thrash out differences.

Rajasthan Congress in-charge Avinash Pande too after Pilot’s remark that he is not joining the BJP tweeted that the party doors are “not shut on him”. He also wished that lord would grant the leader the good sense and comes out of the “elusive trap of the BJP”.
