Karnataka crisis: SC to decide on rebel MLAs’ plea today

by Editor 1

Karnataka political crisis live updates: Speaker KR Ramesh Kumar yesterday told SC that he, being a constitutional functionary, cannot be directed to first decide on the resignations of rebel Congress-JD(S) MLAs, that too within a particular time frame.
Senior advocate AM Singhvi, appearing for the Speaker, told a bench headed by the Chief Justice that disqualification applications against these MLAs were moved prior to their resignations and the Speaker was well within his right to choose his course of action.
CM HD Kumaraswamy also questioned the jurisdiction of the apex court in entertaining the rebel MLAs’ pleas and said these lawmakers are “hunting in a pack” to bring down his government.
