Congress drops SC plea against Team Pilot

Rajasthan Speaker CP Joshi

Rajasthan Assembly Speaker CP Joshi withdraws his plea in the Supreme Court, against the High Court order asking him to defer his decision on disqualification notices issued to former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot and 18 other MLAs.

The Supreme Court refused to stop the High Court from ruling on the rebels' petition - as requested by the Speaker -- saying the "voice of dissent cannot be suppressed in a democracy".

The Speaker had also challenged being told by the High Court to hold off on any action against the rebels.

Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra on Monday returned to the Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government a cabinet note seeking an assembly session with fresh queries. This is the second time that the governor has sought clarifications from the government. The state cabinet had sent a revised note to the governor last week requesting that a session of the assembly be called on July 31 after he returned the first proposal seeking clarifications on six points.
