Meanwhile, Speaker Kavinder Gupta disclosed his story saying that he too is the victim of the protocol violation as many a times cavalcade of Deputy Chief Minister, Dr Nirmal Singh crosses his cavalcade, which is violation of protocol.

However, the Speaker also mentions that he is not having any personal issue with Deputy CM and it is just a protocol issue.

Following Speaker’s disclosure, the NC and Congress MLAs complaints that if the government is not securing the protocol of the Custodian of the House as well as the members of the House then this is really a matter of protest and all the NC-Congress members staged walkout.
