By IANSTuesday, December 8, 2009
BHUBANESWAR - Orissa Governor M.C. Bhandare has sought a report from the state assembly over the abrupt adjournment of the winter session, officials said Tuesday.
The winter session of the assembly commenced Nov 18 and was to conclude Dec 19. But Speaker Pradip Amat adjourned the session Saturday.
He declared the house adjourned sine die after ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) chief whip Rabi Narayan Pani moved a motion that there was no pending official business and the house should be adjourned.
The motion was supported by ruling party members. However, the opposition protested the move. A five-member team of the opposition Sunday met the governor and requested him not to prorogue the winter session.
