BJP's Ghanshyam Tiwari opposes Rajasthan criminal laws ordinance

Senior Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Ghanshyam Tiwari today joined the Congress and the National People's Party in opposing a Rajasthan government ordinance, and the corresponding bill, to protect judges and public servants from being investigated without its prior sanction.

"This is a kala kanoon (black law) and I am against it," the senior BJP MLA told reporters on the assembly premises.

Led by Leader of the Opposition Rameshwar Dudi, the Congress legislators, their mouths covered with black bands, took out a protest march from the MLA quarters to the assembly building.

Holding placards and shouting slogans against Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, the MLAs entered the assembly premises and accused the Bharatiya Janata Party government of patronising corruption.  -- PTI
