Bhopal: On the issue of two different answers given to the same question in two different sessions of the Madhya Pradesh Assembly, Speaker Girish Gautam told Forest Minister Vijay Shah today that it is a question mark on the prestige of the House and the minister should take action in this matter.
During the Question Hour, Congress MLA Alok Chaturvedi said that in response to one of his questions, he was called an encroacher in the last session, whereas this time it has been denied. He alleged that a conspiracy was being hatched to defame him. Newspapers had also published news against him as he was called an encroacher in the Assembly.
On this, Minister Shah accepted that this time different information has come in the reply than last time. On the acceptance of the Minister, Speaker Gautam said that two different types of information have come in the House, are the concerned officials not serious. On the instructions of the Speaker, the minister assured action in 15 days, but the questioning MLA and other Congress MLAs kept insisting on quick action. During this, the members of the Congress started an uproar demanding the suspension of the responsible officer.
On this matter, Leader of Opposition Dr. Govind Singh said that the Forest Department took lakhs of hectares of farmers' land in the state. The government should solve such cases within the time limit.
Former Chief Minister Kamal Nath alleged that in such cases 70 per cent of the pattas of tribals are cancelled. On this, Minister Shah said that the leases which have been canceled have been investigated at least thrice before cancellation and Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan himself has looked into the matter.
